I think you are right. That is likely an 8 mm (5/16") hex bore, so a nub would pilot in it.

Doesn't look like there's a nice way to adapt this to hex though :/

What "this" are you referring to?

I was looking at the hex bore in the white plastic hub. It appears to be 8 mm or 5/16" across the flats. If so, it will pilot on a nub's 8 mm boss. It also seems to have the 16 mm circle pattern of four holes that would suit a #6 screw.

So you could drive the wheel using 6 mm shaft through a nub, or you could drive it directly using 8 mm (5/16") hex shaft.

Or were you thinking about 3/8" hex?

Definitely not enough meat in the center to be able broach out to 1/2inch hex. The holes on the 16mm bolt circle would also clash with the points of the shaft.

Surely if you need to adapt it to use it, you might as well just make a hub from scratch.

It looks like there should be enough clearance to broach it.

It would end up looking like this if you tried to broach it to 1/2inch hex.

That would work just fine.
