E57 the unit switch(es) the ones on the front of the DW or range are allowed to be the disconnecting means if they meet the requirements of 422.34
That aside the requirements you posted 422.16(B)(2)(5) for example require the outlet to be accessible this is much different from readily accessible.
Accessible (as applied to equipment). Admitting close approach; not guarded by locked doors, elevation, or other effective means.
Accessible, Readily (Readily Accessible). Capable of being reached quickly for operation, renewal, or inspections without requiring those to whom ready access is requisite to climb over or remove obstacles or to resort to portable ladders, and so forth.
There is no reason the JB for the undercabs can not be behind the range.
The requirements for JBs are only accessible not readily accessible.
