Does anyone have a sense of what maintenance for a system like this would look like relative to maintenance for a dam? It seems expensive as hell.

  Are you serious? A crane vs corrosive water?

    Well, rains or winter temperatures.

    The cranes also encounter corrosive water from outside the weather - and the dam of a pumped hydro station doesn't need a full replacement after a couple of decades; a crane does after 15-20 years at the most.
