Middle group parts usually have more durable finishes and seals as you note, and that keeps out the weather and keeps in the grease. There’s nothing about them that confers extra strength.

For your mileage and weight you might be better off with a more heavy duty hub made for e-bikes or tandems. Might be hard to find those in QR 135 though.
