My response is still the same. 

- If this report that you need to develop is just a one-off request, meaning you don't anticipate more reports in the future that require merging the datasets into a single model, then you can proceed with creating the report focusing just on the report and not too much on the extensibility of the underlying model .

- On the other hand, if you anticipate that users are going to ask for more such reports in the future where you will need to merge the 3 datasets, then I suggest that you take time to develop the data model first and make sure it is scalable and extensible, and then develop the report on top of the data model.
