Concerns with Lone Peak Fuzion action

Used to shoot a lot of the monthly matches at Rock Lake 3-4 years ago, haven't seemed to have had much on the schedule this year from when I looked. Hit up farmout range a few times last year.
 
I've shot all over the western United States, Rock Lake is world class. A friend of mine took me out there for the first time I joined the next day. Later I took a different friend of ours out there for the first time, he joined the next day.

I wish I had a local range of similar caliber, that's for sure!
 
I am gathering parts for new rife build and started reaching out to gunsmiths about build times and costs. One of the smiths I talked with had a pretty negative stance about lone peak actions. So much so, that he doesn't use them on any builds and strongly recommends that people do not use them for custom builds. He said that there are consistent issues with the ignition system which reduces potential accuracy. According to him those issues can be a combination of or any mix of problems with weak firing pins, short firing pins, cocking pin dragging on the bolt, etc. I already have a custom action built on a lone peak fuzion and haven't noticed any issues but, when a respected gunsmith tells me those things, I start to wonder if there are better options out there. Has anyone experinced issues with the lone peak fuzion action?
I have 5 LP
Actions and haven’t had any issues.
2 short actions
1 medium axrion
1 long action
And 1 300 Norma.
