How are you going to tension the chain?

Are you going to use caliper rim brakes?

Eccentric rear hub, rotating it moves the axis about which the rear wheel spins, allowing for chain tensioning in vertical dropouts - it's a neat little bit of kit.

And no, I've got a nice magura hydraulic disc brake leftover from another project to go on the front. No rear brake because fixed

Cool. The White Industries one? (I'm not aware of any others).
