That should work but some IGH hubs are better than others. Some require annual lube changes, some have grease that theoretically will last the life of the hub.
For commuting, I would favor tubes over tubeless. I have never used tubeless so I might not be a good info source, but it is my understanding that sealant addition is required on a regular interval. I average one flat a year and I would rather deal with one flat than messing with sealant addition.
Nothing really wrong with mechanical disc or drop bars. But look at your disc brakes on occasion to see if the pads need replacement before you damage a rotor.

What about it? Are you looking to buy or do you have one? Not sure what you are asking here.
