sorry if i missed the point totaly
You actually totally got the point. The wheel would be unkeyed but the hubs would be keyed. The hubs would clamp the wheel. Don't think about the bolts going through the wheel to drive it (since that part is very thin plastic), think only about the friction of the clamping force of the two plates.

How do you know it would be enough?

Also, does surface area have anything to do with this?
