You like many others are still hanging on to old thinking. There are no indications why it shouldn't last as long as other bigger engines with same power. Of course it's more delicate than an old petrol engine. But with correct service and maintenance I don't see why it shouldn't last.
It not like Ford, VW etc.. just throw an engine out on the market without extensive tests. There's been put thousands, if not million of km's in testing these engines.
Right now the 1.0 Ecoboost is available in a 130 bhp version, runs fine and no stories of weaknesses of such.
Later this year, Volvo puts a brand new 2.0 4 cylinder engine with 304 bhp in their new 60 and 70 models. That's roughly the same power pr litre as these 1L Ecoboosts engine.... Yes yes I know roughly
