My latest bike is equipped with belt drive and IGH, and also has disc brakes. I am looking forward to a low-maintenance winter season (while keeping my fingers crossed, of course).
Keep us updated on how it goes with the belt drive. I really don't like all the chain maintenance that winter entails, or more precisely, I'd rather not have to feel guilty about the chain maintenance I should be doing and am not.
I'd love a drop bar belt-drive bike with clearance for 40mm tires and fenders but haven't seen one yet. Of course it's just as well since I couldn't afford one right now anyway.
