Is the RPi reliable when it comes to high speed storage?

  It's only officially rated for PCIe gen 2 speeds, but you can bump it up to gen 3 speed with a configuration flag. I've done that for both of mine, combined with ~$15 256GB SSDs off of ebay, and I haven't had any trouble. It's noticeably faster, and probably a little more reliable than a microSD.

  Reliable in what way? The Raspi 5 PCIe interface to NVMe is only a single gen2 lane (5Gb/s physical, 4Gb/s data due to 8b10b encoding) but that's still plenty fast for lots of uses. I've had no problems using a Samsung NVMe with a 3rd party NVMe hat for the past few months. You can boot directly from the NVMe so you don't also need an SD card.
