I'm not sure if it's the same in the reliability department, but in 2015 they released a Les Paul "Less+" variant, with a much thinner body than the traditional Les Paul, while otherwise looking identical. It feels very comfortable to play (at least for me), and IMO it makes it a better guitar than the standard Les Paul, although they only seem to have made them for one year. It also has automatic tuning pegs (Gibson G-Force), which is a big quality of life improvement IMO. (The only issue was the stock nut they give you, it tends to have poor tuning stability... it would grip the wound strings while tuning in a way that makes it hard to arrive at the right pitch. But replacing it with a graphtech tusq synthetic bone nut fixed that issue completely.)
