The reason you don't hear much about failures of 88's is that they never were used much. The Germans obsoleted them after only 10 years of peace duty, after which they were relegated to home defense/national guard type units before permanently disappearing in arsenals. They failed early on or never reached the typical fatigue life depending on the metal quality.
Now, I'm sure you can get one to fail by starting to feed it a constant diet of IsS rounds, but with occasional appropriate I loads you should be fine.
