It's not more reliable if you still have the ICE engine. They've got a million friggen moving parts for the sake of allowing for efficiency and a wide torque band. There's a reason old vehicles are looked at as more reliable - even though they still fail, they have fewer parts to maintain and replace. Modern engines are an insane jumble of "why's this there" and everything is crammed into the smallest package possible.
