You know Gubni sells e brake caliper kits.
Yes but those are El Dorado calipers. I had two sets of them that I couldn't get bled fully and the first set started leaking 3 weeks after being installed. I finally said screw it and just threw on JB7 calipers and ran without an ebrake. I guess I could set up a line lock for a parking brake but that's only usefully if the brake lines/calipers are functioning properly.
I also priced it out and it will be $75 more to convert to disk over rebuilding these drums. Plus, to run disks I'd have to get new wheel studs. These drums slip over the hub instead of using the studs to press the rotor and hub together. I'll most likely switch to disks in the future but will probably do so with 99-04 E350 brakes. They are disk with drum ebrake and slide over the hub.
