One minor thing that caught my eye are the 700 X 32 tyres.That sounds extremely narrow for type of touring you're contemplating. I would tell the frame builder that you want clearance for at least 700 X 45 tyres with room for mudguards. You may think you'll never need such wide tyres, but if you are really doing the expedition bike thing you may change your mind one day.
A dynamo hub is only useful if you actually have something to charge and you expect to go fast enough and far enough to produce the amps you need. However if you do have something to charge, might as well get one now, it will represent only a small fraction of the cost of what I expect is going to be a pretty expensive bike.
