Yes appreciated, but you never drive your wheel with your disc brakes... only stop.
I know bolts are extremely strong etc esp. 8.8 or 10.9 tensile. Just seems a bit backward and more effort than buying a 120/130/135mm fixed hub.
Compatability becomes an issue with having to use a 3/8, 9.5mm or 10mm rear axle in a front hub, sounds a bit heath robinson.
