I use Boeshield T-9, though given boeing 737 MAX debacle and subsequent Starliner issues, I'm having second thoughts. It seems to last for ages.
-
I'd agree. Maybe they used their own sprocket profile formula.
-
halo aerorage is a suggestion. The rims and spokes are so-so, but the hubs are great.
That looks like novatec hub - missing the aluminium shield that the halo hub has, but cheap for an off the shelf wheel.
No idea if either would work with a 32mm tyre.
-
if it is slipping, it is going to be over the rear sprocket, not round the front chainring.
-
Keep it indoors.

In good conditions, rear brake doesn't do much. In wet, icy, slippery conditions, it is quite easy to cause a front wheel skid which is generally terminal. Recovering from a rear wheel skid is straightforward - some people even do it deliberately, for fun.
Brake cables also snap, especially if they live outside, are old, galvanised, unloved, etc.

Can you just cut through the bolt with a grinder and a steel cutting disk? Subsequently, hard maybe to get the bottom half of the bolt out of the stem, but fast and lots of sparks.
-
If you have a grinder and are a bit bored, you can cut open the old freewheel, liberate all the balls and achieve a deeper understanding of freewheel construction.
There will be a reduced number of threads enaged with the freewheel as the ones engaged with the lockring are smaller and left handed. It should work anyway.
