Actually you do have only 8 gears if that is all you want. There are only 8 cogs in the back and 3 chainrings in the front. You never have to shift the front if you don’t want to. You can actually have the front derailleur and the other chainrings removed. And just run it as a 1x8. Easy peasy.
People with older mountain bikes do it all the time.
I did look at the Verge online and it looks like it might fit the bill.
