I am not convinced the failures are due to an inherent engine issue. Unfortunately, the car is too new to rule for sure either way I guess.

Definitely not true. I saw one of the first few STI in North America to be lemon due to engine failures. My friend have had two engines replaced on his 2010. The motor on both of them were all stock. They did autox it (never track), so the run to the limiter might not have helped.
