To your first point, I really think the future lies in technical and steep uphill trails that allow e-bikers to really challenge themselves. That and wide climbing roads that leave lots of room for all kinds of rider speeds.
To your second point, when you lose traction, you also lose the pedals pretty quickly, and the motor cuts out. So in my experience, the damage done isn't much different.
