Digital sensors get noise instead of reciprocity failure. That’s why the original Acros was so loved for long exposures

Film has noise too. It's called "grain". It even mirrors how DSLRs work pretty directly: Higher ISO values result in more noise/grain.

Not quite. Film doesn't get more grain with longer exposures, whereas it does with digital sensors, as you can get [hot pixels](https://photofocus.com/software/what-are-hot-pixels-and-how-...) and other artifacts the longer the sensor is exposing a shot.
