Nbfm generates infinite sidebands. Thus, their broadband noise too
will be high. Does it make sense to generate nbfm at a lower
frequency, pass it through a 15 khz filter and then upconvert?
The aim is to reduce receiver desensing. A high Performance receiver
will be used.

You may find the following document to be of use:

The interesting stuff starts at page 16 where they say:


In practice, the spectrum of an FM signal is not infinite. The sideband amplitudes become negligibly small beyond a certain frequency offset from the carrier, depending on the magnitude of β. We can determine the bandwidth required for low distortion transmissi
