I know the S58 is a enhanced B58, so I just hope the same oil burning issue doesn't follow this iteration..

Doesn't the S58 have things like upgraded crankcase, pistons, crankshafts and other internals?

It does but at its core, it's original blueprint was a B58 and factually, this is a know issue with the TU1 version of that motor..

Now, I'm just sharing my observation, I can't predict the reliability of the S58, just hoping it's not the same..
