The plug blowout deal was usually caused by incorrect torqueing after they were changed. I have 60k on my '02 2v and have not had an issue yet. I do agree the three thread deal was a bad idea though.
The two piece spark plug deal has a TSB out (all over the internet) about the correct way to remove them that greatly, greatly reduces the chances to break them. They have since came out with a one piece plug that doesn't have this problem at all.
Things were tight in the 99-07 Superduties engine compartment too (as they are in most remotely modern vehicles) The 6.4 is very related to the 6.0, and along with many improvements was made slightly larger to give it a new name and to disassociate it from the 6.0. By and large the 6.4 trucks have been fairly problem free aside from a radiator issue.
Nothing is perfect (GM intake gaskets anyone? Dodge transmissions? Toyota engines, transmissions and tailgates?) They all have shops to make money... most of the bells and whistles have been brought about by the govt for emissions and it will only get worse.
