Actually I think that there are very few people that a SS cargo bike would be suited for. Even if there are no significant hills on the route, a variation in cargo can make for a desired difference in gearing - ie. going to the store on empty, and coming back with 100+ lbs.
But fortunately the choices are not only SS or derailleur - a 7-speed IGH is probably good enough for most, and of course a Rohloff would be luxury
