They are ok for light use. not the nicest to use or work on by a long way but OK and fairly cheap if you use them within their capacity.
They may have ironed out these problems but if you were lugging weights up hills in manageable gears with powerful mid drive motors (see all modern cargo bikes) you would drastically shorten their life. and once they break internally there's nothing to be done except warranty the hub and get a new one.
