I do know that cutting threads in carbon composite and expecting a metal threaded insert to hold when opposing a set of carbon threads, is a fool's errand.
Which cranksets do not retain the pedals well?
The carbon square taper cranks that are currently being talked about.
Do a search for pedal eyelets in carbon cranks. They will come up. Apparently a glued-in, threaded insert. Not hard to see why they can and do fail.
I can only hope they've moved away from them,
