Its a 2021 but new, so performance line. Enviolo tr (trekking?) chain not belt (my preference anyway) re Rohloff it has the newer rocker dropouts so should be compatible and not the stupid automatic shifting so should be convertable

Yeah I’ve tried and tested 32h Rohloff on the XL bikes for work and np. And the dude from Rohloff (Stewart..?) seems to think QR will be fine with these dropouts but i haven’t tested- don’t see why it wouldn’t be.

This UA is maybe the same vintage as mine, Enviolo, Performance, chain drive. Enviolo Hubs get a bad rep here but what can I say, it shifts and hasn’t let me down yet. I’d love to have a go on one of the new ones with a cargo line motor to feel the difference. That said I got up Forest Hill with 80kg of horse manure and didn’t die.
If I were you I’d consider what the overlaps are with the other cargo bikes in the stable. Bullets are nice but if you’re carrying kids the UAs feel very solid and safe due to the hefty weight and eps box, the rain cover is good, you can clip in a child seat etc. the whole usability package.

Just curious, but why is your preference a chain over a belt?

I love the UA XL, Such awesome beasts!
I think enviolo has improved things of late? But I don’t know never tried. I had an absolutely abysmal experience with them a few years ago. I think the UA is just too big and heavy for (old) enviolo, if there are not many hills around you and you give yourself a high GI / ratio then you’ll prob be ok. . What motor is it?
With Rohloff though they are amazing.
