The main appeal is low maintenance like you said - outside of initial investment cost, the only things to worry about are making sure the tension is set correctly to begin with and checking it every so often as they do stretch a bit. Home repair viability has more to do with what IGH you're running - not much you can do to repair a belt (It's either good or needs replacing)

What’s everyone’s thoughts on belt drive Cargo bikes? Worth it or nah? Everyone online seems to love them and while the super low maintenance is very appealing I’m wondering if there’s any practical issues that come with belt drives that are often overlooked. Are all repairs simple enough or are they shop jobs? Any help much appreciated!
