how repairable is such a design?

  It isn’t inherently more difficult to make it more or less repairable. Repair ability is a design attribute that is planned for.

  I guess a repair could mean swap it out, and the unit would get sent back to get refurbished, like what's commonly done with say alternators.

  There's an e-axle repair kit from Germany.[1] This kit is for a Schaeffler e-axle, and contains all the bearings and seals. If you have to take the axle apart to replace any of those, you may as well replace all of them. Third party E-axles are mostly for trucks, where power trains and truck bodies come from different manufacturers. Heavy trucks can be maintained for decades, and that market wants repair parts available. For a car, the powertrain bearings tend to outlast the useful life of most cars.
