Is there any evidence Hans Niemann was suspended specifically for cheating? I’ve seen multiple unsubstantiated claims, but no source that definitively states he was suspended for cheating.

And no source will. I'm not sure why chess.com didn't make it public (by a notice on his profile that his account was suspended for Fair Play violations).
But yes, the only 2 entities that can definitively state that are:
1. chess.com
2. Hans himself
Not sure why chess.com won't, but Hans won't for obvious reasons.
