Same here, heard stories, stocked spare master cylinder/levers and they are still untouched. I do crash unfortunately.
A set of mt5s is at least 4 years old and a set of MT trails at least 2 years old. So far so good.
I also tend to be very insensitive to lever shape, longer ones on mt5 (set more inboard), hc3 on trails and standard shimanos on another bike. If I can set them close enough to the grips all work well.
Bleeding takes a couple of tries sometimes.
