Since they just started offering it, Linode probably doesn't have accurate statistics to share, and most people can't correctly interpret very small probabilities anyway. They'd probably be better off saying something like "you should assume that each volume will fail at some point in its life".

They have been offering it since June, FWIW. And it is worth knowing the order of magnitude of expected failure rates compared to just running against the local SSD.
