Actually direct injection engines are more susceptible to clogged and carbon build up. Here is a short article from Consumer reports

The F has 16 injectors, which set did you replace, direct or port injectors? Curious as to why you had to replace 8 of them?

Injector cleaners are mostly useless. A very few work. I am not sure about RP's product, but Red Line's SI has been tested and approved by BMW for use in their engines, Techron products from Chevron contain Techroline which is well known as a quality cleaner, and BG's BG44K is known as the (most expensive) industrial strength system cleaner. Unfortunately, anything else is a crap shoot. It might be great, it might be useless.

2 were broken when replacing the seal on the exchange tube and the remaining 6 were replaced because the tech was concerned with how brittle they were. I'm not familiar with the locations of the direct and port injectors but I believe these were the port injectors, correct me if I am wrong.

That makes sense, that has happened to quite a few guys when having the ELF recall campaign done unfortunately. I thought that the injectors that were broken were the direct injectors usually, but I could be wrong as well.
On a side note to the OP I have used RP fuel system cleaner and it seemed to work well in the applications that I have used it in, and is half the price of BG 44k.
