I also saw a YouTube video where a guy coded his X3 to have a different instrument gauge cluster and his BMW service center wanted to void his entire warranty.
Do any of you have any factual experience with any of the above?
If coded incorrectly, then yes, they can burn out and fail quicker.

Dealership does not have ability to see coding changes (only behavior), unless they call in specialist, which would have to prove coding resulted in fault.
