Default Is the Eight Speed Transmission Reliable???

We're considering a 2014 F sport that has the 8 speed transmission. I'm aware that some auto manufacturers are having serious problems with their 8/9/10 speed transmissions. Is the Lexus RX experiencing any problems with their A8?
We're replacing a 2005 Toyota Highlander that's had only four minor, non-maintenance repairs costing less than $1K in it's entire life (we're gifting it to our son & daughter-in-law). Our 2009 Lexus RX350 Pebble Beach, purchased in 2014 has had no, non-maintenance repairs in the 2.5 years and 25K miles we've owned it. I'm asking this question because we hope to continue our excellent track record with Lexus/Toyota SUVs.
Thanks for any feedback!!

I've got close to 90k on my 2013 and haven't had any issues at all.
