Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Odds are a coaster brake wheel won't fit the frame correctly. Coaster brake bikes usually have shorter rear axles (measured across the locknuts). Your frame, made for a derailleur system will likely be to wide.

It doesn't mean you can't, but that it's more complicated than simply using a stock wheel.

Maybe if you told us more of your problems, folks could give more specific advice.
