However, since Centralization and the concommitant transfer of labialization from the vowel to the neighbouring consonant is naturally heavily dependant on vocalism, I would have to oppose i-umlaut at the Proto-Steppe stage unless you can find a different formulation of Centralization that works to explain the rise of labialized consonants in PIE.

As for *h3, it may have been labialized, although other labial(ized) phonemes do not seem to cause o-coloring (at least not consistently).
-
However, my explanation is that, unlike other labialized phonemes in PIE, *h₃ was an aspirate and therefore particularly prone to erosion compared to the more acoustically salient labialized stops: *kʷ, *gʷ and *ghʷ.

My phonology isn't much different in Mid IE than in PIE, save for the addition of labialized dental stops and sibilants and the absence of a phonemic plain/uvular contrast or palatal/plain for you traditionalists out there.

If this ablaut preceded Centralization, we would find verb stems alternating between labialized (eg. *kʷ) and non-labialized consonants (eg. *k).
