Not suitable for anything built after WWII though. :P

This is cool. Enjoyed the description too:
The NBT2 is NOT suitable for use with super lightweight [stupid-liteTM] alloy racing frames, where the deraileurhanger already self destructs with normal use.
Prior to first time use it is recomended to check with conventional tools that the lockring hasn't been tightened way over the recommended torque by some hamfisted mechanic, to prevent overloading the dropout.

If you take spare spokes the most likely ones to go are drive side on the rear. So how are you going to get your cassette off to replace?
Better to make sure your wheel is well built and not likely to fail.
According to @cycleclinic who built my wheels, hitting potholes doesn't typically cause spoke breakage.
