Flip the hope wheel over and bolt a cog to the disc tabs.
Gives you a chain line around 51mm suitable for MTB chainsets.

Balls, that's that one out. Looks like the Surly is the only sensible option.

But I want to run fixed and brakes, so need either disc tabs and fixed threads of two sets of disc tabs.

If you use the Surly hub then they chainline is 53.5mm which the same as putting a ring on the outer tab of a standard mountain bike chainset.

This could be the option. Just need to figure out a crank. I'd rather a proper single ring crank than just use part of a double.

I'm temped to forget the wheels I have and the disc requirement, keep the drivetrain simple with a track spaced Mash Work frame, though that wouldn't give me the tyre clearance I'd hoped for.

Surly fixed disc is very nice - I've done about 3500 miles on mine with no issues so far. Using a Spa XD-2 double crank with the ring on the outside, and a 107mm JIS BB. You could go for a track crank with a long BB (something like 122.5mm with Record Pista, IIRC) to get the chainline you need.
