If it's there for espionage, is cell the right technology to use? Seems BT or wifi would be better for someone to drive by and yoink the data, surly using the cell network introduces a lot of issues from an espionage perspective?

Like what?
Having to physically drive within Wifi/Bluetooth range has even greater issues, like "getting your spy caught and executed".

One would presume these things would need to be quite long lived (Stuxnet for example took years to execute iirc?), maybe I'm thinking about it wrong/over thinking it, but the logistics of China maintaining cell backhaul in foreign countries for solar farm telemetry seems... I dunno, just doesn't add up for me, seems easier to lora and pay some kid $500 to drive by the site and yoink.
