Rohloff on Paris Brest Paris???

I am planning to ride PBP in 2023 and I'm getting my bike dialed in now to hopefully find a happy stage where not much will change on it from now until PBP. I am seriously considering replacing my 11speed SRAM Apex drivetrain with a Rohloff Hub. The gear ranges on the SRAM are fine, but I find the bullet-proof reliability of the Rohloff very intriguing after reading so many PBP DNF stories because of falty derailleurs. The only downside I can see to switching to a Rohloff is adding extra weight, but I've read many opinions that tell me not to be concerned with that for PBP. Is any one on here experience with riding PBP on a Rohloff? Or if you have ridden PBP, does one see many Rohloff hubs on the road?? Any feedback is appreciated.
