What makes you think that maintenance crews will be sourced from local populations? Where is that written? Especially with a multi-million dollar piece of specialized hardware like a wind turbine. My guess is that each company would have their own maintenance crews and send them running around to all of their wind turbines on a schedule.
To your last paragraph: that is exactly why gearless wind turbines will dominate the market. It may take some time, a decade perhaps, but IMO it is inevitable. Removing the maintenance and repair costs will make a gearless wind turbine more profitable than one with a gearbox. Simple economics will dictate the winner.
