Good day,

What are your thoughts on this setup? I realize the power station is a bit pricey, and I'm not sure if it's possible to replace the battery and/or the inverter if it conks out, but it is a neat little package:

Definitely shop around. Anything that calls itself a "Solar Generator" or "Solar Ready" should have its own controller built in. Also look at Watt-Hours, because Ah are a pretty easy way to hide krap batteries. Is that 135Ah at 12v LFP or 3.6v 18650Li? That's the difference between 1620 Watt Hours and 489 watt hours. Same number for marketing, WWWAAYYY different capacities.
 
power station is a bit pricey
US$312 for 100 units plus shipping.
How much is it costing you? US$650?

A decent lifepo 100Ah is ~$350, 1200W Giandel pure sine inverter is ~$200. @$550

Windy Nation P30L and 200W panels and cables is like $275 and you’d need those anyways. Rich Solar has one with a lesser but adequate SCC for $240-ish I think.

You can spend your money better.
