I've never heard of a 2nd gen transmission failure. It should be just about as reliable as a manual transmission. Its just a bunch of gears and a couple motors. There aren't clutches or CVT belts to wear out or anything like that.
I know the 1st gen Prius had some transmission issues. But, its transmission fluid change interval was 30k vs the 2nd gens 100k miles. I bet that had a lot to do with it.
As a side note, my 2004 has about 160k miles on it and still runs just fine. I have to add a bit of oil between my 10k mile oil changes, but not bad at all.
