I know this is not what you are asking, but since you will already be investing in new rims and (most likely) new spokes and the expense or time of a wheelset build, do you really want to limit your rim options and lose an existing wheelset just to re-use a set of Deore hubs?
I know you said you don’t want to invest in new wheels, but with the plan you outline, you are basically already doing that.
