Most of the Fern bikes have a painted (or anodised?) Shimano Dura Ace FC-7402 crankset, with a 116 mm (probably Neco- cheap but very good) sealed bearing. JIS tapered.
Which gives the bike a 140mm Q factor and a 46mm chainline.

I've been thinking about doing this with a 7402 crankset and a 1x drivetrain. I can only find 115mm square taper BBs around, rather than 116 - do you reckon that'll give a good enough chainline?

As that's only 0.5mm difference each side, no problem.

I like the idea of this set-up. I reckon, what Josh said, 115mm would be fine. A 116mm BB is not hard to find though.
