Helpful Expert Reply:
The hub face dimensions between idler hubs and brake hubs like the part # 84557UC3 that you referenced is the exact same which means your wheel would not stick any further or less if you went from no brake to a brake axle.
I attached a link to a guide that covers adding brakes to a trailer axle for you to check out as well.
