I didn't experience any issues with my T8, but I was prepared for the potential issues going into the car. My driving style is more on the slower side and the Volvo travelled 75% of the time in EV-only mode, so potential issues will probably take longer to appear since the engine sees less wear and tear than with an ICE-only powertrain.
Volvo updated the powertrain sometime in 2022 and got rid of the supercharger. This means reliability should be better, but likely it's still subpar compared to the Germans.
That said, I generally don't recommend Volvos to friends/family because I don't want their grief directed at me if something goes wrong. I knew what I was getting into when I got the Volvo, and I was ready for the consequences.
