Sanity checking a simple network to replace one exit network

New place, trying to make sense of it.

We have 5 offices. Here's the current setup

Office Employees Internet Routing Extra info Filesharing Current Voice
LocationA 32 users No internet Out through Location B via 1gig VPLS Server farm. Mostly people connecting occasionally back for files from B,C,E Going to have small scale DFS to locationE A separate digital non-ip phone system
LocationB 26 users 100/100mbps VPLS exit point DC / Fileserver Have their own server for local access A separate digital non-ip phone system
LocationC 17 users No internet Out through Location B via 1gig VPLS Going to have a file server Going to have their own local server IP phones route back to LocationB via site to site
LocationD 8 users 10/10mbps Site to Site VPN back to LocationB no ISP in area, satelite dish pointed to nearest point. Assumed little to no usage back to A IP phones route back to LocationA via site to site (throughB?)
LocationE 8 users 100/100mbps Site-to-site vpn back to LocationB. Located in a different country. Going to have a smallscale dfs replication to LocationA Have their own separate cloud system

1gig vpls is up for renewal, phonesystem in A/B is outdated and want to switch to cloud voice. the VPLS is only seeing 100mbps traffic according to ISP.

We have Meraki MX64/MX65 in B, D and E. The MX64's have a max VPN throughput of 100mbps which is what our internet connections are so i don't see a point for going for anything larger than that.

We're currently getting numbers for a VeloCloud setup that is WAY more complicated than what we need it for. We really only need site-to-site VPNs and figure out how to correctly QOS the voice to be prioritized.

What I'm thinking getting internet connections for B(hopefully a 250mbps and C (100mbps), putting an MX84 in LocationA and an mx64 in locationC.
