The only real downside is the Shimano '333' 3 speed hub. Everything I've read says they're crap.

That is really cool. I am surprised to see a Raleigh style fork crown on it. I have had 3 or 4 bikes with '333' 3 speed hubs from various years and I had a pretty favorable impression of them. They are not really serviceable like a sturmey archer and there is not oil port. Even so, they are much easier to setup that an SA hub IMO. Everyone that I had shifted smooth and reliably enough, I am sure there are exceptions.
