I kept my Evo X but bought a C7 Z51 in late 2014. I still have the Evo and drive it frequently. I just traded in the C7 for a Ford Raptor (2018). The Raptor is amazing!
I think if I actually replace the Evo X as my fun / modding car, it would be replaced with a C5 Z06 or a Z4 M Coupe.

I think the only thing I could fully replace the X with is an earlier model Evo. I don't think there's any other single car out there that can satisfy my needs, and do all the things I use my X for in the same way or better. Definitely nothing remotely close, for the same price.

It's certainly one of the last of it's kind.. from BMW and automakers in general. The only real V8 options these days aren't for me.

It seems very hit or miss. Some cars with multiple track days and 200K+ miles that have had no issues on original bearings... while others failed at <10K. I wouldn't discount driving habbits from being a big factor either (lugging the engine, especially before warmed up).
I'd probably budget for replacing them if looking for one w/ no warranty intact... and make sure to get regular UOAs done. I think I may be talking myself out of wanting one
