From what I hear, the bearing in the motor wearing out is the biggest thing you have to worry about, when that bearing goes out the motor eats the transmission and the whole unit gets replaced, or the car gets scrapped, I've only seen that happen twice and I'm not sure if regular transmission fluid changes would prevent it but it would be worth checking.
Battery issues are rare but they happen, they are also easy to spot and cheap to fix if you catch them before the trouble light comes on, biggest sign on a Prius is a sudden drop in gas mileage, when that happens a battery equalize apparently will save the back without having to do a rebuild.
