I'm a big fan of BikeYoke-Sacki's turn-the-box-inside-out-thinking but the real secret-sauce, especially when BikeYoke upscaled production for OE, is not whether your sh*t fails or not it's how you manage issues that matters.
The Revive and Devine are both polished-looking products and they're oh-so-smooth. I certainly wouldn't give them the reliability crown though. Especially not for units sold. I've worked on brand new posts that wouldn't hold position, I've had two friends have chassis failures (that I've never seen with another dropper post at any price point), but it doesn't seem to matter - they'd spend the extra to get a BikeYoke dropper again. Which I think says a lot about BY's customer service.
Long-term, true non-faff reliability, I don't think you're going to beat a Wintek-equipped post with a good chassis (like the Highline series). If a Wintek post is too slowwwww (which it is for some folks), or you want more drop, or space is a concern, or you want that same-day-shipping level of local support then OneUp can't be beaten in the Shore-To-Sky corridor. Anyways, it's cool to support Sacki and his products are generally awesome as is his CS, I'd just push back against the narrative that they're faultless or even lower-fault compared to other products.
