No clutch disc/pressure plate/flywheel is immune to failure.

I had a clutch let go in my HEMI GTX years ago.The following was the result:

Disc-completely gone
Pressure plate & springs-completely gone
PP cover-torn and stretched to over 20 inches
Bell housing-all missing but a chunk the size of my fist where the Z bar attached and several quarter size pieces where it bolted to the block.
Inspection cover-gone(obviously)
Hole in the back of a valve cover
Lower corner of the block broken off
Front bearing retainer broken.

So....when you get a scattershield,make it a Mcleod.Lakewoods are worth the hassle.
