Sounds pretty good. But expensive.

This is going to be a stupid question, but all of my research over the years has been for DC conversions, with the assumption that a 144v motor needs a controller fed with 144v, etc. The MGR needs 650v, so that means I'd need a 650v nominal battery pack, yes? I don't think the controller will do any high power buck conversion or anything. That is a downside to the MGR, though as a bonus I think I could go 100km on a charge with the smallest large-format LiFePO4 pack! But it would be US$11,000. Ups and downs everywhere.
