Heck, I have speeds on the commuter/light tourer and am building and adventure tourer (on the probably ill-conceived notion I will actually have time to use it) around the Jeff Jones Bike modified 6 speed cassette.
Not sure if Jeff plans on making more of these cassettes. Jeff modified regular Shimano XTR cassettes so they work on single speed hubs providing for a lower dish wheel. Meant for 1x set ups, the six speeds are a good range for off road and loaded touring.
