Are there frameless sliding glass shower doors that don't require any channel attached to the curb for the sliding section? I see a lot of them for sale online, but the pictures make it look like they have metal channels attached to the curb. Can't tell. I don't want to put anything on the curb except the fixed door and maybe a small guide. This is a DYI project.

Try using straight vinegar, right from a spray bottle. It may work better if it's heated first. Then try wiping with a used dryer sheet.
If that doesn't work, then you'll probably have to resort to something like CLR, at least for the initial cleaning.
Expanding on my comment: I think that the main problem with the proposed setup is lacking a slide or rail on the bottom. Without a slide on the bottom the glass door can swing perpendicular to the sliding direction. See the below explanation for what I mean.
I have a sliding shower door with a sliding mechanism on the top (a stainless steel rail with 2 wheels per door on top of the rail) and a tiny U channel on the bottom to keep the door from swinging. I know, I need to clean the shower a little...
The door is sliding in the direction of the blue arrows. The U channel on the bottom is keeping the door from swinging in the direction of the red arrows. This U channel is about 2 CM long and seems to be made from aluminium.

Yes, they make such doors. (e.g. https://www.framelessshowerdoors.com/sliding-doors/) But they are only useful if the doors are far enough away from the water spray so that very little water gets under them.
