I disagree totally. The 3.5L Ecoboost (twin turbo V6) is more than the equal of Ford's small V8 (the Coyote 5.0L engine). The 3.5L delivers more HP, more Torque, and at a lower RPM, and it doesn't lose nearly as much power when in the 6 to 10k high mountains of the Rockies due to the turbo's.
Obviously, it's personal opinion which engine will last the longest, what with the complexity of the twin turbos, however it's not personal opinion that any small V8 will out perform the twin turbo 3.5L Ecoboost.
