I had no more issues with these then I did any other new (or used) car. Maybe I've just been lucky.
It's no golden rule, but you can potentially avoid a lot of issues. I've had to get a few minor things fixed on my '13, driver side door seal and steering wheel. But there are some of the folks eating motors. I know when the 5.0 came out, they had transmission issues but that got handled. The Camaro had transmission issues as well. Look at the 991 GT3 and C7 vette, both had to deal with full engine replacements. Crazy.

Talks? From who? Magazines or Ford? Those are two very different people. It's handles dramatically better on the street with the ride comfort, so I don't know why people are upset. The car has a whole new front and rear suspension, so it'll take some times to work out the tricks. The GT350 is still coming and should eat the Boss for breakfast.
