I’ve seen this mentioned, but I don’t think I’ve heard a proper explanation. Are there some expected complications with integrating an automatic that should be avoided? I’ve never driven a manual car so if I’m gonna buy a car to convert it’d probably be my first manual drive vehicle.

Less to go wrong. An automatic is a whole extra system to integrate that is mostly unnecessary based on how electric motors work and their efficiency. Usually the main gears you shift into with an electric conversion is neutral, reverse, and often 3rd gear is the best balance of usability for your forward gear. Once it’s in forward you can just leave it and act like it’s an automatic. With a manual gas engine you can’t come to a stop and not stall without shifting into neutral or just holding the clutch, but with an electric motor that is a non-issue.
