So the Rev B planet gear bearing is expected not to show the mystery non-spalling fatigue crack growth that should have never occurred in the original version.

Metallurgically, I suspect there is little to no difference between them. If it was a material-driven failure, the lower loads observed may serve only to delay the onset of this undetectable failure.

I do very much wonder exactly what "In service experience shows enhanced reliability" means
