> さらに冬になれば雪が積もって交通の便が悪いし、暮らすにはいささか苦労が多い **のも** 難点だ

I'm familiar with Vのは → Vのも for multiple nominalized items, but this use of it
has me stumped.

"Because of the transportation issues after the snow piles up, the slight
hardships: (consists of) many issues"?

question
particle-の adjectives particle-も nominalization
Use of Adjective + のも
> I'm familiar with Vのは

Then, you understand 暮らすにはいささか苦労が多い **のは** 難点だ.

I think you are familiar with **も** which means _also_ or _too_ in the
sentences as:  
「町には人 **が** 多い。車 **も** 多い。」  
_"There are a lot of people, also a lot of cars in the town."_

「町に人が多い **のは** 当然だ。車が多い **のも** 当然だ。」  
_"It is natural that there are a lot of people in the town. It is also natural
that there are a lot of cars in the town."_ .

Now, I think you understand the **のも** in the original sentence.

answer
も in this context simply means "also". も can replace some particles such as は,
を (i.e., のは → のも). And this の is a nominalizer which turns the preceding
clause into a noun.

The nominalized part is a bit long: "冬になれば雪が積もって交通の便が悪いし、暮らすにはいささか苦労が多い".
暮らすには苦労が多い literally means "hardship is abundant to live".

> さらに[冬になれば雪が積もって交通の便が悪いし、暮らすにはいささか苦労が多い]の **も** 難点だ。  
>  Yet **another** problem is [that snow prevents us from getting around in
> winter and there are various (other) troubles to live a life].
