What exactly were your IGH headaches. I've been running Alfine daily for almost 4 years without any issues. Ive given it one oil dip which took about 30mins (including figuring out how to do it).
Igh, how do I loathe thee...let me count the ways...limited range without spending incredible $$ for a rohloff or alfine 11...less efficient...hard to remove rear wheel (esp with belt drive)...have had the lbs do 2-3 oil baths to correct noises...those are the main things. It's great in theory, but in practice I hated it. once I learned how to adjust a derailleur I never looked back
