That reputation is not deserved. Keep in mind the newest ones are now 18 years old, so there will be maintenace issues. But they are easy to work on if you're a DIY'r. Otherwise, they are remarkably reliable if you treat them well.
My '83 has 194,000 miles on it and has been very reliable over the last three years. It is down right now with worn out hydraulic lifters, but I'm fixing them at a cost of about $100.
My syncro is just as reliable. The reputation that syncros have as unreliable is bogus, IMHO. Do a search and read up on them on thesamba.
