In short, does ?no complaints? really indicate no problems?

It indicates no problems prominent enough to come to attention. This is not liked by hard science but it's the way the world wags. Do you want your taxes spent on pursuing non-compliant products that no-one has found defective?
 
Carl Sagan:  ?Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.?

Yes, this is hard science and no-one in EMC circles denies it. But applying it to emissions or susceptibility that no-one notices enough to complain doesn't make economic sense.
