Both of those would suit the build really well. There's a new silver QR disc 32h SON 28 dynamo on eBay for £180 at the moment which is tempting but in reality 'long days in the saddle' are a rarity for me with two young kids etc.
Mudguards are a hard yes, probably in readiness for Autumn '24.

That does sound tempting! (but I know the feeling too well - two girls aged 1 and 3)
I've found having dynamo light removes a (mental) barrier which means I ride more not having to consider lights. Day time running lights are also means no one can claim they weren't able to see me on the road.My vote is for guards with some texture, like the hammered finish or like VO zeppelins.

I have an 8, 6, and 2 yr. I very much understand that feeling. I just finished re-installing dyno lighting on a bike because for me, rides are more often rides of opportunity rather than planned. If I get a free hour to ride, and it's dusk or already dark, I'm out of luck if my lights aren't charged or I put my headlight in the wrong place after juggling all the kids stuff and now it's missing forever.

I'm here for it! Sounds like a lovely build.
I always end of fitting guards and dynamo lights to bikes like this though.
Maybe it's just a scandinavian thing
