Looks great,
personally would just go through winter with fenders and gripshifts and rebuild in spring.
If looking for a new wheelset, 8-10/11? speed wheelsets are the same, so could be used in the 1x conversion. 7speedfreehub body is narrower (35 vs 40mm), 7sp cassette can be used on 8-10sp freehub body with a spacer, not the other way round.
Shifter gear ratio for the RD is the same for any Shimano MTB mechs 7-9sp and Shimano road 7-10sp except 4700, so even drops would work. Anything might be easier than finding good quality 3x7 shifters to combine with Vs, it is thumbies almost exclusively, so the 8sp suggestion is great.
-sorry if any is obvious.
