Seems to be the opposite from the ICE where all the complexity is now with the fuel source rather than the motor.

I could go on but whilst these are valid points you bring up they already have their own versions when it comes to ICE as well. No one is claiming that an Electric Engine is going to be worry free but it certainly reduces a lot of potential acute mechanical possibilities but trades them for more chronic/long term ones which I'd personally rather as they're easier to anticipate and fix before they become big problems.
