Question Is the RDX's soy-based wiring insulation a long-term reliability issue?

In the market for a 2nd gen RDX and reading that these cars have the dreaded soy based wiring insulation that plagues many other cars. On these RDXs specifically, how worried should I be about this soy-based wiring insulation degrading/breaking down over time, or attracting rodents who chew through them?

I know this is a huge issue with other cars that use this type of wiring but not sure if any better on the 2nd gen RDX.

Honestly I wouldn't be too worried. It's just one of those things that pretty much should be expected on most cars.
