Is there a reliability advantage for automatic cars normally being in a lower rev range compared to manual cars? (old.reddit.com)

Obviously it is known that manual cars are much simpler compared to modern automatics, but that automatic cars are typically faster, and more efficient now.

I was wondering however if there is some reliability advantage for the fact that automatic cars generally live in a much lower RPM band compared to manual cars where the engine might be revved higher for longer between shifts, whereas an automatic is constantly trying to get into the most fuel efficient gear?

Is there any data on this?
