well, the biggest hill I ride is something like 5% and one or two kms. And I never try to get much speed. So I believe it will be fine? How fast those things overheat? I had one sometime ago, but never used it too much to feel it start to fail....
If I mix the ideas (a coaster brake with 650B wheels and fatter tires) I could get confort for days
