I have been stranded twice because of Subaru firmware bugs which they knew about and failed to notify me. First one was the battery charging bug(which still happens even with the firmware fix, just more slowly). The second was the fuel gauge bug. This is a 2017 Outback, my second and last Subaru I'll ever own. Regarding Starlink, there's actually a battery drain issue on older systems because the 3G modem fails to find a base station (because 3G is deprecated) and drains your battery doing retries. You can remove the Starlink module, but since the Bluetooth microphone and front speakers are routed through it, you'll lose that functionality unless you spend $80 for a dongle to restore them.
