Reliability on many piston engines is largely affected by maintenance and pilots. Turbines are seeing professional handling and pilots in most cases. The engines are not guilty if the owner doesn't care and the pilot doesn't either.
I knew pilots of a twin turboprop Commander who took a large bird through the prop
They had to shut that side down
Single Turboprop over heavy seas at night ?
You at least owe it to the PAX to well inform the PAX of those risks
