Can I ask why the restriction on steel?
My local club range is a 25 meter indoor range, with a narrow shooting area like yours; only down range.
We shoot steel, we just place the targets as far back as they can go.
With regards to stage design, a few tips:
-Use ports and barrels to shoot through
-Use walls and alleys to force shooters to move to new firing positions; lateral movement as well as back and forth
-Use mini targets to press accuracy
-Use mandated boxes to shoot from - good for adding long range shots, for example
-Use awkward starting positions (seated, facing uprange, touching wall, hands in bucket of water, gun on one barrel with magazines on a second barrel across the range)
-As yellowfin said, use bowling pins to simulate steel - they are deceptively hard to hit
-Use hand-activated swingers (pulling on strings)
A 180 degree range is not necessary in order to create good stages. In addition, the narrow safety angle helps with muzzle awareness.
It's not about surviving, it's about winning!
