I think I might take those wheels if you've still got them and are willing to post? Knobblies could be handy and I could just have a spare back wheel.
I also bought one of these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282631114242. £24, rim and disc, 10-speed freehub, free postage. That'll do for the geared option.
Also bought some cheap SRAM TT-500 shifters so I'll go bar-con if I do run it geared. They'll also be handy if I ever decide to go full tourer on my other bike. I'll still be trying to get the MTB shifter working in the mean time.
I'm thinking if I get a second quicklink I can splice two bits of chain together and have a short chain/fixie option and a long chain/additional section that will be the right length for gears. I can actually switch between the two mid-ride then if I ever need to do that for some stupid reason.
To do list:
Would be nice to have it done by Christmas.
