Yes, they are boring! However, my automatics have lasted just as long if not longer than some of the standards I've owned. My old faithful ('99 Ford Taurus) just passed 180 000miles (289 000kms) and the transmission still shifts like new. Only problem I've had was with a gasket ($43) that gave the transmission a slow leak. Only done three tranny fluid and filter changes (never flushed).
Transmissions for domestic vehicles are rather cheap these days. Less than $1K for a re-manufactured unit - installed. Yaris...who knows.
