Suicide hubs get their name from brakeless riders who rely on back pressure to stop. If you have a brake, it's far less dangerous. If you have two brakes, it's not dangerous at all.

go ahead and stick a fixed cog on there. One thing you can do is put a bottom bracket lockring on there to make it real tight. When you have an extra hundred quid laying around, treat yourself to a new wheel.
