I'll also jump in on the 07-14 wet brake system....it was a very good system, no issues. Hate to see a good system get thrown under the bus for no reason, I'm not sure where that was a bad system is coming from.
Probably from here:

My manual wants me to replace the transmission fluid every four years. It's getting close so I'll have to think about doing that. However, one thing I won't have to worry about is finding a "quality friction modified transmission fluid" to avoid an expensive failure.

Unless that warning is incorrect and that braking system can handle some missed maintenance intervals.
