valves/cyclinder head long term reports

When I bought my Yaris it was for a long term vehicle (hoping 20+ years). The one weakness I identified was the cylinder head design. I was very surprised with the shimmed mechanical valves. Adjusting valves on this car is almost out of the question for a DIYer unless you invest in a bunch of shims.

My car is at 30K, I notice a little ticking. But I am wondering if anyone has had a valve wear out of adjustment and what milage it takes for that to occur? Just looking for feild reports/discussion.
