Some anecdata: I’ve been using an iMac Pro which has the T2 chip (and thus, can experience these panics) for a while now and haven’t had a single kernel panic.

Some anecdata: I’ve been using an iMac Pro which has the T2 chip (and thus, can experience these panics) for a while now and haven’t had a single kernel panic. In fact, I wouldn’t have even restarted this whole time if it weren’t for updates. Similarly, I’ve used both second and third gen touchbar MBPs and haven’t had any problems out of them at all. They’ve both been about as reliable as my old 2015 MBP. Not to say that others aren’t experiencing issues, but let’s not forget that the internet can act as a magnifying glass that makes relatively uncommon/infrequent bugs look much more widespread than they actually are.
