You can certainly use a disc brake hub with a rim brake wheel. Shutter Precision (SP) hubs are available in both versions, and the dish on the rotor side is minimal.
I built a SP disc hub into a wheel for use with rim brakes for a guy who proceeded to do a tour in excess of 6,000 km on it. He reported no issues, and I did not expect there would be any.
