That bit of wire showing is no big deal for me, it is on the rack after all. Mine is way worse.
Putting holes in the fork or frame is just a bad idea. IMO
As for custom, I doubt they would change the fit much. It looks just fine to me. Maybe the stem could be shortened and TT lengthened.
Switching the wheel and shifter to or from a Rohloff would be no problem.
I am not sure what to do at all! It is not urgent by any means, but the idea of a really really clean look is appealing to me. Of course that means more $$$.
It seems like, to summarize:
Wiring: iffy
Toe overlap: potentially
And yes, swapping the rear hub is easy enough to do on my existing frame, it is just a question if I want to. It also seems likes most of the Alfine 11 hiccups are not so serious. That might be the an option too! Crappy shifter choices though.
