I think I have a breakdown where every team plays 30 series which are all 2-game or 3-game (except for one 1-game series between 9 & 22). The next trick is then organizing them so that everyone is playing in one series at a time.

This should be manageable if all series blocks are set to 3 days - over those days teams will either 2 or 3 games. With 30 series, that makes 90 total days (not counting All Star break) and thus 15 offdays, meaning on average teams play 5 games every 6 days compared to a modern MLB average of about 9 games per 10 days. That number of offdays may be trimmed a bit if some 2-game series can be grouped all together to make some 2-day series blocks. But I do not expect to be able to reasonably do much if any of that.

The game times should be of little issue. It might be a bit confusing where the rivalry games are against division opponents (like 21 vs 22).
