I ride 90% of the time on paved trails; but I am planning a 80 mile gravel ride with the boys this summer.
If you read the reviews on the
Ursus Jumbo you will see the second reviewer Peter Moskos talks about his tandem and how the Pletscher was a no go and the Ursus was the best for him. Not to mention the review from Paul Walker (an avid e-biker who actively buys and destroys lots of bike parts and shares his experience in many online forums) also gave it a hearty thumbs up.
If you decide on the Ursus Jumbo I think you might even find a lower price with a bit of googling around.
Just be aware they appear to make 2 lengths: a 275mm and a 300mm version. Looks like the 275 is for 26inch bikes or with BB height <275mm off the ground. And the 300 is for 700c bikes or with BB height >275mm off the ground.
