Yeah I think you're right, probably a lot easier and cheaper to just find an old rim-brake 26" wheelset. They've gotta be ultra-cheap these days.
For 1x I'm definitely going to need a clutch derailleur at minimum right?
I think a chain catcher might be the cheapest option cause with a clutch mech you'll also need the appropriate shifter. Not sure... You can try the 'Any questions answered' thread for a definite answer
