I didn't really make it clear but the XT hub is on the rear, the DT hub on the front has disc mounts. However, I think I'm only asking for trouble trying discs at this point, and I quite like the idea of some older Avid or BMX-style brakes.
What I'm really not sure about is the gearing, as this is my first single speed. I typically use my commuting mtb in the big ring (44t) and the small rear cog (11t) so I'm concerned about swapping for a 32/34t up front, especially if this is going to be mainly gravel focused.

Brakes. How are you going to disk-brakify that NOS XT hub upfront?
Go for some boutiquey rim(e) brakes with the assumption an uncut Kona P2 is going to present at some point.
