Advised not to repack bearings???
Two years ago, and with our previous trailer, we had a miserable and expensive bearing failure while 4k miles from home. At the time, we had buddy bearings and were under the impression that they did...

ABSOLUTELY WRONG!, If you don't fill the cavity completely with grease you will not get new grease to the outer bearing. Also, you expansion theory is baloney since excess grease from expansion if there is any and that I doubt will simply exit around the outer bearing just like the EZ-lube system is designed to work.
Folks that don't understand these systems should stay away from grasping at phantom straws and putting out INCORRECT and MISLEADING INFORMATION.

True, to a degree, but read my previous link. My trailer: Cavity was filled with grease. Grease at the back of the cavity, behind the inner bearing blew out the seal. Basically the pressure of the grease caused the grease to take the path of least resistance to relieve the pressure, blowing out the inner seal.
End of story.
Not all grease will come out through the outer bearing like your theory states.
No one is providing mis-information nor pulling phantom straws (whatever the heck those are)
