You've pretty much gotten most of the "issues", but truth be told,
there really isn't much difference in complexity between a modern
outboard and I/Os.

The upper gear set, drive coupler, drive damper, universal joints, shift
cable boot/bellows, driveshaft boot/bellows, & exhaust boot/bellows are
always acting up on my outboards & need to be disassembled & serviced
every two seasons at a minimum.
