I have an in wall tank with no front acess and the inconvenience of maintenance isn't all that bad. I don't even have direct back access because of my furnace. I have swing doors from a bathroom on one side and access on the other side from my mech room. Iadmit that many times I have to walk around to the front to inspect any work, and often I go back and forth a dozen times but I love the finished in wall look.
Good luck, it will look great no matter what you decide.
