the issues the G17 can have... are the same issues the G18C can have... just the full auto fire increases the chances (and decreases the possible "time" till it happens)
the screw mount in the frame, the front of the slide... and I have seen reports of the full auto "sear" in the G18C failing ...
there is mention of how to reinforce the screw hole mount on the frame... a metal slide with a good recoil spring/buffer set up ... and shooters design has newer moar betterer full auto sears available.
I've got 1200-1300 rounds through mine .. in and out of a carbine as my primary outdoors
I have a "spare" complete lower (haven't gotten my complete top yet for twins) I'm gonna do the reinforcement to the screw mount... and switch over my existing slide assy, then I'll check/reinforce the screw mount on my original lower.
other then a couple small dimples in the top front corners of my slide from the Roni carbine kit ... I've had no damage or failures , however I have been gaming outdoors in pretty cool weather so the propane is not running full power.
