I think that you can have a break with any material, if you leave it
long enough. The last time I replaced my exhaust, it was because the
flange rusted and blew out, not the pipe. No matter what you use, you
have to inspect it regularly (and replace as needed) if you don't want
failures under way.
On the other hand, I've found that engine failures are an excellent way
to hone your sailing skills.
