Should put a valve spring in there and fight for a recall. In all seriousness, this sucks, very sorry to hear that. I think metal fatigue happens gradually, and it finally gave out. As you said, given that it lasted this long, it may not have been the tune or any one specific issue.

I think really to avoid this, you need to address the rods themselves. There will always be a weak point, engine failure is never something you can guarantee won't happen. You just have to choose the risks you can live with and the ones you can't.

Do you have catch cans / oil cooler?
