I personally know of someone who tracked the car only 6 times and then sustained a DI failure.

Thank you and you would be obsessed if you had worked in this industry for 20 years saving to buy a new lightweight RWD car like this only to succumb to a serious engine problem before 7500 miles. The dealers are no help.
Toyota has always been an industry leader, the company I work for has gone to great lengths to implement the Toyota business model, Toyota have truly built outstanding reliable cars the last 25 years.
There is no latest 01x calibration, it is not official and no dealer will "flash your car to 01x. It exists in some obscure SA market of less than 100 cars in the entire country and is being pushed here in the US as a sales gimmick for Ecutek dealers (which void your warranty if you use their product.)
This is just the common sense reality of the situation. I never tracked or modded my car, never even been to an autocross. I just live in a hilly area.
And I hate to burst ft86club's bubble but not many owners have joined this forum (everyone uses facebook these days), not many who have the problem even know what it is and how could they ? Most dealers don't even acknowledge it.
Do I know the answer? Nope. Does anyone here know? Nope. That's what we paid Toyota $25k for and its time they earn their money.
