Question: I target an enemy within 30 ft. I cast Banishment. The target is in a demiplane and incapacitated. I’m maintaining concentration. I cast teleport or plane shift and completely change venue. I maintain concentration at my destination for 1 minute. Does the banishment work after I leave the area? The only quibble I can think of is the 30ft range, but that would appear to be a condition met at the time of casting. Thoughts?

Yes, the Banishment works after you leave the area.
As was clarified in Sage Advice here, you do not need to stay within range of a spell's target to maintain concentration on it, and since the target is by definition on another plane of existence now anyway, the 30 foot range definitely no longer applies.
