You know there are plant-based ground covers even for wetter climates that better satisfy all your "plus" criteria at even less maintenance?

What lawns provide over those are mostly aesthetic and functional, not ecological.

Getting rid of the lawn, and with it the lawnmower, is the clear ecological choice, even if not always the right personal choice. No koan or paradox involved.
