I completely agree at this point if you haven't had it done, don't do it, but in the end the success of the repair is completely dependent on the care taken by the one mechanic working on the car. It has nothing to do with the logo on their shirt.

that sounds realistic. Toyota selling more cars hence the higher recall and failure numbers makes sense. I have no idea why someone hasn’t made a gasket for these yet I never understood the sealant theory however the must be a reason behind it.
