In all the years of shooting Pentax I have "never ever" heard on the forums or other, of a breakdown of their SR system...not once!
The Giros are in chip tuning fork type wafer ceramic crystals and produce a voltage by inertia, similar to crystal ceramic record player pick ups, there is nothing to go wrong there. The sensor moves between ball bearings and again reliability is extremely high.
Of course there's no viewfinder VR with a DSLR, where there is with ML.
Reliability will be higher with IBIS compared with ILIS just because of better support of the sensor than for the floating elements in a lens...
..not to mention the clever tricks Pentax have done with the system like; astrotracer (star tracking) pixel shifting ( 4 stacked images to get RBG at every pixel) simulated LPF as well as image composition adjustment, all very powerful tools indeed!
Bring on IBIS Nikon!
