I don't like the idea of freewheels and threaded track hubs as I would need to change cogs in muddy conditions.
I've been toying with the idea of building up a SSCX bike, but changing cogs during a race never occurred to me. Is this just in case of breakage? Or something else?

No, not during races. But I'll go to a race and realise after a training lap that I am unfit and course is hilly so I'll need my 21T instead of my 19T. And on my way home from Hog Hill Id like my 17T etc... All of which will be sorted in less than ideal conditions. Plus it will be lighter.
Plus Freewheels suck and are expensive if you want quality.

I am not aware of any 120mm splined freehub rim brake hubs.
I don't like the idea of freewheels and threaded track hubs as I would need to change cogs in muddy conditions. Splined ss kits are much more hassle free.
I am not removing anything from the hub that can cause death. I am just going to shorten the axle by 15mm and see if I can modify or buy new end caps.
As for the bolts @BareNecessities and @psg1ben I haven't decide how I am going to use the hub yet. But one thought is to bore out the end caps and use a 10mm through axle instead of a qr. I have just gone through a cx season using shimano cam qrs and I have had zero slippage
