Pinion gearbox bikes for touring

I didn't find much about Pinion gearbox when it comes to touring in either touring section or elswhere on bikeforums, hence I will create a new topic.
I've seen some video reviews on YT but it seems there are no detailed long term reviews especially from touring people. People either ride Rohloff or bike with derailleur gears when they go on a long tour.
What is your view of this system in case you use it or had experience with it? Would you try it if you had a chance?
I am aware that this system can't be fixed by an ordinary mechanic and has to be shipped in for the service leaving you bikeless. Personally I prefer well known drives which I can fix in middle of nowhere but still idea of novelty, low maintenance drive is tempting...
Thank you.
