Hardly onerous, it's a bit of paperwork and a rental checkout, not much different to the FAA biennial that all FAA certified pilots have to do every 2 years at home.

I am very familiar with the FAA biennial and this is significantly more complicated. The FAA doesn't charge fees, doesn't make me provide certified copies of government documents, doesn't make my ability to fly conditional on their 'approving' my biennial on an unknown timeframe; and doesn't make make my ability to fly conditional on two government agencies cooperating with one another to exchange information, again on an unknown timeframe.
