Is Seagate Exos X22 more prone to failure than X24 for having more heads? (zerobytes.monster)

We have plans to buy a few dozen 22TB drives to fill up our Seagate JBOD. A friend of mine said x22 is being phased out due to high fail rate (not sure how solid his source is). We've had good experience with WD's 22TB counterparts and Seagates' X16 16T without complaints, but his remarks does scared me a little.

The newer X24 24T seems to have less heads (20 vs X22's 22 heads). Would 11 disks/22 heads on X22 be a concern? How's everybody's experience with recent 20-24T drives, especially x22?
