I had over 60K on my stock STi clutch when I sold it with no issues. That included about 10 track days and over 100 auto-x runs (with launches on every run) at stage 2 power levels. Seems like a clutch can take quite a bit of 'abuse' as long as the proper technique is used.
To answer your original question though, yes labor can be pretty high on replacing a clutch.
