Actually, there's a 2005 near the end of the "Short Lived Engine Survey" thread, which had 67 posts. It wasn't obvious how many catastrophic failures there were since the the thread wandered around a bit. I do recall another thread - can't quickly locate it - where there was a running count...guessing it was in the 30 failures range when it petered out.
Somewhat related to this overall reliability issue, there's also an RMS poll that shows about 30% of respondants experiencing RMS leaks.
But...there are over 19 THOUSAND registered members of this forum, and - as has been pointed out seveal times - the registered users of this forum are likely atypical of all boxster owners. So...dozens of complaints from thousands of owners doesn't seem worth obsessing over. Just IMHO.
As John Maynard Keynes said, "In the long run, we're all dead."
