Good to know the Douze can handle such a crazy weight. Think my legs would certainly struggle especially on an incline. Seen the pictures of your Douze you've posted previously, hope the updated electric assist is behaving itself and reliable these days.
I think the issue I have is that I keep trying to ride our cargo bike like an ordinary bike and being a long time racing cyclist I can't help but want to go fast, hence the need to slow down at pretty rapidly at times.
Those Metallics boxes look great, think once our boy has outgrown the cargo bike I'd be keen to put a hard box like them on. Good luck with the project!

The unofficial max load is 300kg all in so you're all good (including rider).
I have electricity assistance so that gives me a push at the start and prevents wobbling / hard handling at the lights.
No issues with the Tektro Gemini brakeset in mine, even at full load.
