Banks haven't been an insurmountable problem for me, but there's definitely varying degrees of friction. Having an official current property tax document for the residence showing the PO BOX mailing address it was sent to seems to help, but it does require in-person time-wasting to navigate the barriers. I assume it's a real PITA or impossible if you just do a web/app kind of signup, especially with a huge bank. My local small rural bank didn't even bat an eye to separate mailing address and resident address, happily sending the bank card to the PO BOX, but they serve a rural community of many people living at the end of dirt roads and the account was opened in-person.
I did have a problem with E*Trade because they partner with a banking provider. Despite having the PO BOX as the mailing address, their bank insisted on sending the debit card to the residence address. This was resolved by them sending it via FedEx, no mailbox required, still fulfilled their requirement of confirming the card goes to the residence on file, done.
I haven't had to get a new license in this mode yet, but the vehicle registration has all been frictionless with separate fields for residence and mailing addresses. Maybe it will be a mess for the DL, but I'm pretty confident there's a way. Even retirees who sold their home and are living exclusively in their RV have an escape hatch at the DMV AIUI.
