Going solely by the number of users here, and the number of failures, I would chalk it up to a very rare occurence, freak factory defect, who knows. Many other performance engines have had problems, but people still love them. If you're more worried about worrying, then sell everything and go live in a padded room. Otherwise, just enjoy the car and maintain it well. there's a 99%+ whatever chance you'll be perfectly fine.

And the powertrain warranty is 5yr/60k.

Being a rare occurrence is acceptable. The manufacturer not honoring the warranty in the rare event that it does happen is not.
