I´m planning to create a new design composed of a CPU unit added with the usual resources ( timers, program and data memories, etc... ), including some built-in peripheral modules, such as 1 Ethernet, 1 USB, 1 UART and few IOs. I´m aware that probably there are available to sell some ARM-based off the shelf microcontroller IC which meets to these requirements, but I really want to do that with the NIOSII architecture.

NIOS II take less than 3000 LEs and UART and IOs are not a problem but Ethernet and USB are.
They require usually external devices to handle these complex interfaces.
For USB 2.0 you can go with FT2232H while for Ethernet you need minimum an external Phy

Do you think the part bellow could fit to the requirements for the project specified above, or is somewhat oversized ?

It depends on your speed requirements also, why don't go with a DE2 or DE1-SoC board before than building a board on your own?
