Right now the data points towards the latter.
US region valve spring failures: 11
US region recall failures: 40?
Certainly not every failure is sure to have been from the recall work, but there must also be failures that were not reported to this forum. It may not be possible to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, but it's as certain to me as it can be that the recall work has caused more failures than the actual valve springs.

Oh at this point I would say that not having it done is the safer bet. I have said all along that if I was impacted I just wouldn't do it based on the remote chance of spring failure. The guys in California have no choice but I think they are the only ones forced to do it.
With the new instructions we can hope that the repair failures drop off.
