Judging by the completeness of the benchwork, it seems unlikely that you will change the it or the trackplan at this point? E.g.if the benchwork was 6" higher, the cleanout looks like it would be underneath.
My suggestion would be a modular section on a rolling bench that comes completely away when access to the drain is required. It could be locked into place with bolts or catches, or some other positive method. Make it big enough that it provides lots of room around the drain so nothing gets bumped or soiled... :o
I think that this approach would require the least amount of modification to the existing benchwork for the biggest return in accessibility. A lift-off section of scenery would leave the benchwork in place, subject to bumping or worse... You'd have to do a bit of additional framing for the removable section, but it would not be overly difficult.
I've tried to estimate the drain position (green) and size of removable section (cut line in red) in the attachment.
Hope that helps.
