Lights can help you be more visible in inclement weather, or when overcast conditions cuts the ambient light.

Drum brakes are really good for hilly areas, or any situation where you want moderate yet reliable stopping power with minimal upkeep.

Maybe combining a drum on back, dyno hub on front, and use the dyno to charge devices & leaves the option to get lights at a later time...?

My bike has the N360 on the back, so no drum brakes or disc brakes possible there. Changing the front fork would allow disc, i think.

I think you should at least consider it......
