I should read better.
It will work if you have the tools. Best fix I have seen is to drill out the hole, and fit a top hat bush from the back with the thread in it. Make it out of a reasonable material and you'll be away.

And make sure your insert is long enough.
ie the thickness of the crank.
I've seen it done before but there wasn't enough pedal thread.
Pedal stripped then seized onto insert.
Couldn't be removed from insert and insert couldn't be removed from crank = throw whole thing away

No I haven't done it before on very expensive Ti axled pedals

You can probably just use any chain tensioner starting from around $50, the spring would be something an engineer could make I guess, not generally a spare part. You can change the oil/grease in the hub, not sure what the service intervals are. I guess your one must be at least a few years old and ridden in dirt/mud when it was designed for commuting, so probably a good idea to prevent anything wearing out prematurely and keep things smooth. Any professional bikeshop should be able to sort all this, you might want to go to a few places and see who knows their arse from their elbow, if they can't figure out the proper set up of the random extra chain they could always consult the GT distributor.
