Threads like this are the reason I still haven't made the move to full carbon. I'd like a lighter bike, but I'm pretty hard on equipment and don't want something that has an excessive failure rate even if warranty coverage is good.
I wond up abandoning Rival shifters for this reason. Overall, I really like them. But the levers have a tendency to break off. I've experienced this problem, and it's easy to find other who also have. I've experienced good things from SRAM's warranty coverage and have heard the same from others, but having stuff fail at in opportune times is really a PITA.
