Well, the other option I'd have for an Eastern liturgy is over an hour away, and that seems mostly licit (https://maps.app.goo.gl/TFL7ugoVFM2r3wFt6) with 3 SSPX chapels close to two hours away; and for whatever reason there are no sede chapels I know of anywhere in NC.
This is the liturgy at said Maronite church: https://goo.gl/maps/EZJBfEGU7ejTZfTx6, which aside from the Maronite vestments, looks identical to the Novus Ordo, unfortunately. 

And there is a broadcaster in Lebanon that has videos of them online as well: . It is even more protestantized there.

That part of North Carolina is a liturgical desert, and that's being kind. 'Wasteland' is probably a more apropos term.

What part of NC will you be living?  Because I see a CMRI chapel near the border of northern SC in Greenville.

I guess my next question, which I'm not seeing an answer for, is whether Maronite orders are doubtful? I understand they could mix in NO clerics here and there, so there would be a danger with that which would call for prudence on my part; but if those ordained by a Maronite bishop would be safe?

I can tolerate a modernized rite if the Sacraments are valid and I can't make the drive elsewhere.

There is a Maronite Catholic church in Fayetteville, St Michael the Archangel:

Yes. And yes, they do have Novus Ordo clergy in some places.

Many NO clergy have faculties to serve in both rites.
