The lowest gear I've ridden in is 1.22 with 175mm cranks. A good climber
would have little problem with hills in that combo. My climbing is
still limited whether I'm on a guni or direct drive.
My best guess is that it would still have some perceptible driveline
friction as compared to a direct hub, but in general riding around you
don't really notice it. What you do notice is the lightweight wheel.
It's available for local test rides anytime.
