Surely a normal MTB hub can just be refitted with a new axle(?).
My understanding of the reason for going for the lefty option is because the
nondrive side bearings are bigger which is useful as you're using a WW front hub... so I guess they'd have smaller bearing/not be up to the needed forces.FWIW I think you should do it. It's meant to be a challenge. Htfu.
