Instead of making the hole the exact size, make a small gap so you can use a screw and nut to clamp it down on the peg

But doesn’t that create an offset weight? My part will probably spin at several thousand RPM.

What is the plastic of your choice?
PLA, PETG, … behave like a very slowly flowing liquid as such the print will deform/expand (creep).

For production parts look at other materials. Polycarbonate might still be within the range of your 3D-printer.
For attaching: If you can’t clamp then look at gluing it in place. If you need it detachable maybe drill a hole in the shaft and use a R-clip.
