P321 is a premium product over Hope or DT350 - no doubt. I don’t see any loss of reliability in terms of quality or maintenance requirements (basic cleaning).
The quiet pawls are not Onyx / True Precision silent - but they’re damn quiet.
That said, it’s an easier hub to fully teardown than either DT or Hope and a basic clean and relube is a similar effort to DT (looking at you Hope plastic “labyrinth seal”).
No one I know with a P321 hub has had issues with the bearing adjuster coming loose. I can’t speak to Onyx as I’ve never used one long term (quality of their products does appear excellent).
