Does this 3x5 routine cover all the bases?

So I'm a 2-year lifter who spent months and months doing 3x5 Rippetoe and built a good foundation doing that. However, about 5 months ago I hurt my lower back doing deads and now can't do regular deads or bent rows without pain.

Last week I went to the spinal clinic and the doc actually encouraged me to do all lifting exercises that don't cause pain. Until then I'd been doing a bodyweight-centered workout but now want to get back into lifting.

So here I've devised a Strength Training Program that fulfills my needs (note that stiff legged deads do not cause me pain with proper form). Please let me know if you think this covers everything or if you think imbalances will arise.

This is an across the board 3x5 routine. So of course the chins and dips are weighted (30 pounds for each now I think). Do you think this is sufficient or should any iso work be added?

Workout A
Squats
Bench
Incline Bench
Chins

Workout B
Stiff Leg Deadlift
Military Press
Cable Rows
Dips​

I think you could do Db rows on a bench.. Should not put to much tension on your lower back.. Id def do those if you can.
