True there were some trouble with the clutch in the early model DL1000´s. I believe they had a recall about it. And from K4? onwards it was changed.
Other than that, there has been very few complaints about the model. Most of the so-called problems with throttle bodies, injection, etc., are self-induced, by people who think they know how to tune these, but dont. Thats not a design fault.
The DL1000 can be compared to any Beemer regards reliability, in fact if properly maintained, it may well outlast the German bike. Its got a lot less problems than 1200GS anyway.
