Maybe the "One Big Option" (mentioned in the original post) is derailleur or high end IGH (Rohloff or Alfine 11, both of which have sufficiently wide range to obviate need for front shifting, which the original post says the HS doesn't have); hence the seemingly contradictory horizontal drops and derailleur hanger?
