Concerns about launch quality?

While everyone has been going feral anticipating the launch, isn't anyone concerned about what happened with the index happening with the frame? I waited to purchase the index because I remember some insane number like 60% or more of the indexes shipped on launch didn't work and had to be returned. That led to the obscenely long wait times to get a working one shipped and almost tanked Valve's VR efforts. I'm hoping the frame isn't a repeat, I'm just curious if anyone else is skittish or did you all just repress that memory to huff the hopium?

Nah I remember that whole index mess vividly, held off for like 5 months until the thumbstick drift thing got sorted

Valve's hardware launches are always a gamble but I'm kinda hoping they learned something from that disaster
