I reckon you should get some better tyres.
And you've got all necessary mounts for outpost.

If you've changing the bike from hub gears to derailleur gears, carrying out some fairly major frame mods and getting it resprayed, wouldn't it be cheaper and easier just to sell it and get a bike with derailleur gears? Unless the bike has massive sentimental value it seems a rather odd route to take in order to get where you want to get to.

I've got a Smithfield Bridge, which I understand is basically a CdF. It's got rear-facing dropouts and Alfine. I'm a bit sick of fixing punctures on this thing as it involves axle nuts, tensioner nuts, releasing the cable on the Alfine and sometimes moving the mudguard. It's also quite weighty.
I'm thinking of having derailleur dropouts switched-in so I can throw Zee 10-speed on there. Then maybe a fresh coat of paint. Might also get a pump peg put on and more bosses for the Blackburn Outpost rack I've got on the front.
What do you reckon?
