I have it on my e6100 Bullitt. It's ok - I'm in the south downs and there's definitely some hills it won't get up - around 10% gets a bit spicy and you have to put a lot of leg power in. I geared it down to 38/27, I think you can feasibly go down to 38/30 but of course you then lose a bit of top end. Might not be an issue with the EP8 though.
Doesn't like changing under any power at all which takes a bit of adjusting to.

Any thoughts on the Nexus 5E hub for a Veloe Multi long tail? The other options are the Eviolo TR/HD (I never liked the twist grip on my last Enviolo hub, which made my wrist hurt shifting through the range) or Deore 10 speed (more maintenance, etc).
The Nexus looks decent, but doesn’t have a massive range (268%), and I live in Edinburgh with 2 kids to haul up cobbled hills. But maybe coupled with an EP8 the absolute range matters less?
