Hey Look, I'm not suggesting that this failure was "old school" only that respect has to be given to the unique shower environment, and it often isn't. We pour a concrete curb, won't be affected by water, stable, and strong. The wood curbs that I've taken apart, have cracks in the grout or splits in the caulking where the expansion and contraction of the wood has "worked" it over time. Cheers

concrete curb? How do you keep water penetration through the concrete into the sub floor? Concrete acts like a sponge and it will suck up water and retain it.
