And it's all pretty anecdotal with one digit sample sizes.

I don't think this can really be answered unless we get something like the reliability report from blackblaze. Still, i hope I'll read about the final result of the article in a few years.

Anecdotal, yes, but having any data is a better indication than having no data. If nobody can find evidence of the phenomenon you know you're more likely fine (no guarantee) than when people start plugging in old drives and some discover rotting.
