thank you both! really appreciated :)
I dug this out.
Which has detailed drawing of the dropouts. It also looks like they ship the same dropouts for enviolo and the deore build.
@MCamb so you are saying if I get the Merlin deal I'd need a diff axle plate right?
Cable management could be tricky yes but I think I can live with that, cables run on the steerer tube and exit at the bottom I think.

I’m thinking the OEM axle plate that Merlin is supplying might be ok for use with cube. So no new axle plate needed. See urban arrow rear dropout arrangement with Rohloff:
solid axle, OEM axle plate , post mount disc brakes, long vertical dropout. No torque arms, speed bones etc needed.
The dropout needs to be long and stout enough though on cube for this to be the case. With wheel fully sat in, that support block on OEM axle plate replaces the need for any additional torque bracing.
Cube specs need to be double checked against Rohloff manual (which is quite comprehensive) to be sure.

The way I’m looking at it If the dropout is long enough You won’t need a monkey bone adapter, as the OEM axle plate provided with the Merlin wheel is to be used without one (with post mount brakes). Dropout just needs to be long enough to support the axle plate which replaces the torque arm. (And looks like it might be)
Looking at the cube it looks like it has sliding dropouts so this is how chain tension is achieved.
I’m not 100% though and manual will need to be referenced with some more detailed knowledge of cube dropouts
