It might work, but you'd have a chainline concern to solve.

Mixing IGH with derailleurs gives you the worst of both. I don't see the point except that it's funny.

Oh, and a 1x9 (or one by anything) is often hard to perfect because of chainline problems. That's why nearly all derailleur bikes have more than one chainring.

One problem with the new Sturmey Archer IGH's is that direct drive is the lowest gear. They're probably designed with small-wheel bikes in mind. To get a reasonable range, you need a giant cog or a comically small chainring. I'd still try to make that work, though, given my affection for Sturmey Archer and my bigotry against Shimano. Hey, I'm honest.
