Honestly, if you are putting this much concern and thought over the recall you are best off not doing it unless you are 100% sure.

Generally if your engine does suffer a catastrophic failure after the recall, its because of the work they did. Engine with 70k wont just spin a bearing and knock for no reason (unless the oil is literal sludge). It wont really matter if you have a warranty or not anymore since the work they did on your car is insured by them. Theres only been a few counts where the dealer/toyota have chosen not to cover their work. As far as I know at the current moment, I currently getting a replacement motor and loaner at no charge so. I did have to argue with them or threaten with lawyers, they simply ate the cost. (Easier for them when they are the biggest dealer in the area).

whats the worry? I had about 85k on mine when i did the recall. Some guys are already past 150k on the forums. If youre worried about a valve spring actually breaking there are under 100 reported incidents of this AROUND THE WORLD. Thats out of the thousands of fa20's subaru produced in the year and a half
i only did mine because i had an oil leak, also spark plugs and accessory belt
