First off, most hubs you’re going to run on an e-bike have an e-bike or ‘heavy duty’ version now and the difference is a steel freehub body. That solves the issues with cheap cassettes digging in.
For nice cassettes like the LG700 where 7/11 cogs are on a full width carrier issues with HG wear are overstated. Sure, I’ve hammered a few cassettes off but always cheap ones on aluminum hubs.
To each their own but I’ll choose filing driver burrs over MicroSpline with the floating 10t and lockring issues.
MicroSpline is also more expensive to produce. Deore M5130 10spd interchangeability is important.
