I've spoken to the BOA folks the past years at Sea Otter - in particular the guy who did the work with silca. you can crank on the dial and the dial will fail (extremely unlikely) long before the cord fails.
Check out the Seat Capsule.. it isn't quite as stealthy as our seat rolls, but it's a good bit larger and can be accessed while still on the bike so you don't have to remove it as often if that is an issue for you.

I use a seat roll on my road bike and a capsule on the gravel bike where it comfortably holds a 700x40 tube, 2 co2, 2x gear wipe, shop towel, Venti multi tool, patches, tire levers, money, valve extender/core/core tool and some other stuff.

As mentioned, the boa wire is steel and pretty solid, plus if you find the Boa crew at events, they often have special dials, upgrade kits, etc they can hook you up with.. very cool company with very solid product!
