The largest reliability benefit to a centrifugal supercharger is that it's not making crazy amounts of tq like a lot of turbo setups and not at full boost for that long. It helps reduce strain on the motor and inherently generates less heat. With that being said, you may have to contest with idler pulley failing, tensioner pulley failing, belts slipping or shredding, proper oiling of the unit. Its just a different set of issues to look out for.
