I have a bike with a factory installed BB30 to standard 68mm adapter installed. My frame is 4-5 years old and my current BB is about 1.5 years old and I have no issues. I ride with 3 other guys regularly that have BB30 that have had no problems with more than a year riding . One of the guys is about 250 lbs/18 stone and we climb steep mountain inclines every ride.

I'm definitely aware of BB30 reputation but as you said there are thousands and thousands of bikes out there with BB30 that have no issues and you hear about 20 people on various forums that have an issue. Failure rate is probably the same as any bottom bracket
