I can confirm that. I've been running a few servers with them and my experience is that the older ones had a failure every 2-3 years. Usually it was a disk, sometimes the power supply. Once 2 of 3 disks failed but I managed to rebuild the array (it was the HDD era so it took several hours), no data needed to be restored from backup.
But since 2018 I had no failures at all. And I'm happy to see their ecosystem grow.
