I had also heard the 25% failure rate quoted by I believe Zoom but I could be wrong on the source. I think the problems with the engine are not over rated at all.

Hopefully, the problems have been sufficiently addressed in the 2009 engine improvements, but personally I would still premix.

My 1st Rotary was an 85' RX7 (12a) ..... I beat the livin' snot outta that thing and it still ran beyond perfect at 180k+ miles when I sold the car due to body damage.
I drove a few 85 SE's (13b) and some second gens ... and still liked my 12a better.
