Jul 11, 2022 at 8:45 comment added Sam Nead Here is a geometric proof. Let $L_n$ be the rainbow link you drew. Then $L_n$ is a "meridional" Dehn filling of a cyclic $n$-fold cover of a two-component ten-crossing hyperbolic link (called L10n36 by SnapPy). These two components are, respectively, the unknot and the connect sum of a left and right trefoil. Since the meridional slope of the unknotted component grows linearly with $n$ we may apply Thurston's hyperbolic Dehn filing and deduce that all but finitely many of the $L_n$ are hyperbolic.
