Could this complex star system work in real life?

So, I'm working on a story which involves a triple star system that is full of planets. The first two stars, a G type (which is orbited by an asteroid belt and two small rocky worlds) and a B type (with a small rocky world and a super-earth), orbit around a common barycentre. There are also three gas giants that hold circumbinary orbits around the two stars.

The third star is an O type supergiant which orbits a barycentre between it and the binary pair. On this end of the system there are 3 rocky Earth sized planets, a Super-Earth, 4 gas giants, and 2 ice giants. Finally, there is a circumbinary comet-belt around the entire trinary system.

I know it's a lot of objects for just one star system, but could a system like this remain stable in real life?
