I don't imagine it'd be any harder to maintenance than say, a Toughbox Nano? After install and greasing it'd just get periodic checks to make sure everything was still functioning properly. For a sealed gearbox a plate could be made to go over top of everything that would keep loose parts from falling in, or alternatively the access pocket could be on the bottom side instead of the top.
Something about this still doesn't have me convinced that it's a good idea. The modular design of motor -> gearbox -> chassis ensures that if any one component fails it can be replaced and not bring the whole robot to its knees. I think if well designed it should work just fine, but when something unexpected happens it's nice to know that a spare Toughbox is only 15 minutes from being installed and running.
