EVERYTHING you wanted to know about Loquats!

You will find links to many Academic Loquat articles. In one of them it speaks of diploid and triploid Loquats and the triploid did produce a commercial size fruit with good taste and no seeds. 90% of these articles are Asian research so I'm not sure how we would go about getting a tree but I would think they are availble over there.

A seedless Loquat might be worth the costs.
Relative to the maggots I am not sure what the adults look like.

It will likely be worth while to pursue this asian seedless variety after we do some more research on it. I will study the link that you provided. Thanks
