I have seen dead single coils on frods and Mercedes, and probably
some others I have forgotten. It is pretty rare though. I just get lucky!

yeah 8 coils instead of one, your probability of failure is 8x greater.
Of course now the failure does not leave your vehicle dead on the side
of the road, so maybe it's worth the trade off?
OTOH I've *never* had a traditional coil fail in any car I've owned
since I was 18.
