A freecoaster is not cheating. . If you think by riding a coaster , fakies will be easier.....think again

This.
You need to practice. The balance is different between cassette and coaster because of the backpedaling.
A coaster will not just make it happen. I suggest trying to take off your chain and ride fakie.

Can confirm.
I just got a freecoaster.
I used to be able to fakie, now I can't. It's a lot lot different, and is going to take some time to get used to.

A few brands do, especially for the flatland side.
They aren't all current model year, but they are out there.

I have a KHE Reverse ACB in 48H LHD but it needs a new clutch because it will only engage once in a while. I could let it go for like $25 and shipping if you know how to work on it. New clutches are like $15 or so from DansComp.

Hang on a minute.... All this effort because you like a cheap rim? You can pick a new one of those rims up in 36h for next to nothing, and it would be a lot easier to find a 36h hub.....
Maybe a bit more expensive at first, but new rim + more modern/newer (not as old and battered/easier to get spares) hub would probably be cheaper in the long run
