I was making 1000+wtrq with a GTR and aside from fluid and clutch changes was 100% reliable for 26k miles lol and 20k miles before that lol

Exactly right. Case in point. It's more about HOW you drive the car than what you do to it. There are many people who don't let the oil get warm before romping on the throttle and transmission. I'm almost at 90,000 miles on my original DCT and have not had any of these problems. I will pull my tranny out next year and perform a cleaning anyway, but it's been extremely reliable for me all these years. But also, having my additional cooling (through my auxilary DCT cooling package, complete with: larger oil capacity, additional radiator, and dedicated cooling fan) also helps keep my DCT transmission oil operating temps down a lot. Cooler oil is always good for business! And I'm way over 800lbs/ft torque BTW.
