How would you even begin to attempt to do this? I think you'll quickly realize how terrible of an idea it is, unless you are neglecting to mention that the hubs can be converted to 15mm thru axle.

I'd say it depends on the hub and design/machining resources available to you. In best case there might be a conversion kit available, but Boost? Probably not. If the hub shell can accept a 15mm thru axle and thinner bearings, you can manufacture custom endcaps and use a Boost rotor shim. I've converted my 9mm QR only Novatec D711-SB to 12mm thru axle by drilling out the hub axle and making custom endcaps.
