I need schooling - old vs. new engines

Kind of a generalization. And you forgot to throw out that the pre-Eagle 5.7 has a tendency to drop valve seats if overheated.

But just like the "cracked Magnum head" straw man, it doesn't happen to every motor.

And there is evidence to suggest that the lifter issue isn't so much a design problem as low oil pressure at idle and long periods of idling.

Well, if you look at how the oil the lifters you can see it’s a design issue.

There are compromises in EVERY production engine out there.

Chrysler spent all their money on the G3 Hemi, which NA is less than impressive. I get that they were looking down the road to supercharging but that doesn’t change all the issues an NA Hemi has.

IMO, the Hemi was brought back for the marketing side of it. I’d rather they would have spent the money developing a better wedge head engine than the Hemi.
