I don't get shaft drive. If you don't want mucky socks there is a thing called a chainguard.

Would love to try one! Apparently made in Japan:

Think it was Pat Fairfax that told me he saw the MTB one in a show.
Some bright spark revved it up on the demo bike stand then slammed on the front brake and it all fell to pieces in a clatter.

sorry for replying once more to this interesting ride.
Just Paul Brodies cruiser came to my mind last night and I have to share this here too.
His result as shown at the North American Handmade Bicycle Show (2021 if I'm not mistaken):

and used basis
Please check also this docu how he has made it

"Kariz" was the brand of the used shaft drive bike.
There are some others available https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/bicycle-kariz-chainless-speed-26-1926820973
The yellow cruiser is an "Amis" "Chainless Bicycle" according to this thread made in Japan

The shaft drive system can be still ordered from a company called Sussex in Asia, at least the website is still up an running
