I'm increasingly of the view that I'll never buy a cabled bike again.
That's your choice, but I'd certainly not go that way with the Faran, least of all I can replace a cable by the side of a track on Salisbury Plain if I need to.
That's the beauty of di2. You'd never have to
Mine's been pretty solid in the 8 years I've had it. Had to replace battery after 7 years, but it died in such a way as to not leave me stranded.
It's a weird one though because for the first few years of ownership I was a bit non-plussed by it. It's only after owning for years, particularly after using it through winters, that I've come to value it. By now I'd have had to recable and replace outers several time , whereas the di2 is as fresh as it was on day one.
I think that is perhaps why some people forget to charge the battery, because the stuff is so consistent, and so maintenance free that you forget it is even there.
I'd consider SRAM E-tap on my recumbent - unless DI2 has actually gone wireless I can't see it working due to cable lengths.
The new 12 sp has gone partially wireless. The shifters are now wireless so the only cabling is between mechs and wherever you stash the battery.
I guess you'd have to use an MTB set-up on a recumbent, about which I know nothing. I do know that the latest 105 hydro grouksets can be found for about £1200. Expensive, yes, but I can't see myself ever buying a cabled bike again. You do enter the world of ever-increasing sprocketted cassettes, which means finer chains that don't last as long, and a compatability path that is a little more complex than it was 15 years ago, but that's life I suppose.
