IGH questions

I am considering alternatives for the Shimano Nexus 8 IGH on a Breezer Downtown with horizontal dropouts I converted to an ebike with a Bafang BBS01 mid-drive . I was contemplating either Enviolo cargo or Shimano Nexus Inter-5e. Both appear to be stronger and able to take the torque of the motor. Are there particular issues with mounting the Enviolo? I seem to recall reading somewhere the action of shifting tends to pull on the hub which can loosen belt tension but my frame doesnt have a frame break to mount a belt and I dont want to use the Veer split belt so I would use a standard chain and sprocket. All advice much appreciated.
