Let me break them down.
e-CVT = Very reliable, used in hybrid cars - Mechanically not the same as CVT,
CVT = If use chain like the Subaru WRX, then ok, If use belt, then not so good.
Conventional AT = Reliable - Like Mazda, Camry, Accord, Pick-up trucks, and some BMWs.
D-CVT = similar to CVT, although better than CVT, but still inferior to AT/eCVT.
DCT = Quite reliable - Used mainly by continental cars and some protons.

Conclusion: If you are kaki lenjan, don't buy CVT or D-CVT, the rest should be ok.
If you are a normal driver, then shouldn't matter.

I personally prefer Conventional AT. Fun and reliable.

I see many people say "use CVT for so long and no problem oso".

Yes, of course no problem if you drive like an aunty/uncle (except that Youtube Genting Uncle).

You can go very fast and your CVT will be fine, as long as you don't accelerate hard because that will put a lot of stress on that tiny belt.

Conclusion: For CVT, accelerate gradually.
