Swapping in an Allison is a $10,000++ proposition and it’s not worth it.
A properly built 47RE Dodge trans is actually stronger.
The bad reputation is all from people throwing power and weight at stock ones.
Consider this: a whole lot of Chevy race trucks running Duramax engines have Dodge 47REs swapped into them!!

When I priced an Allison swap I’m going from a manual 6 spd to the Allison and the Allison was going to have Allison reman warranty good at Allison dealers and be programmed for tow haul more like a medium duty truck. I had a buy lined up for my manual stuff so my net money was going to be around $6 or $7k. Not a race setup.
Anyways I left it manual it’s semi retired to ranch work now and my camper truck is a Ford that has a 6 spd tow haul trans that works how I want it to.
