Dynohubs isn’t my strongest suite, but I believe Shimano comes in both nutted and q/r axle. I think there’s also a roller brake/dyno combo. I am not aware of any disc brake/dyno combo.
I have an idea that there is a smaller/lighter model with a slightly lower electrical output as well.
I have not payed any attention to hole counts. If I wanted a dynohub I’d probably simply suck it up and buy an appropriate rim.
If I already had a rim I really, really wanted to use that didn’t match the available drillings I’d consider creative lacing. Unless you use a front hub brake the wheel will most likely survive a radial lace. And leaving some holes empty in the hub is no big deal.
