I did this four days a week for the last six weeks or so on steps 5 speed bullit for work, on ave 60ish km a day pretty big loads. Thoughts:
Auto is dogshit.
Only really used gears 1 - 3
it now shifts like shit and makes some awful noises.
Delayed shifting sporadically, no logic.
Wheel slipped in dropout and needed adjusting 1 or 2 times a week, which is I guess acceptable maintenance but it did mean in the back of my head I was always wary when accelerating 'hard' away from lights, and yes it was torqued up acceptably.
Also based on those service intervals that means hub needs dipping every 8-10 weeks.
Frankly prefer riding non e-assist omnium with the same load and non hub gear, but obvs YMMV (quite literally) etc etc.
