I'm not familiar with the 'old problem' with ball bearing turbos
being stressed by the high rpms. The only problem I'm aware
of is oil getting into the intake (emissions problem) or coking
of the oil when the engine is shut down when the turbo is very
hot. However, the main advantage is that they operate with less
oil supplied - less oil means less drag. Some suggest that the
reduction in oil flow is at least as significant as the lower friction
of ball bearings in relation to spooling.
