It sounds more likely that there is a higher number of wrongly treated units in i8s, especially roadsters, but also rarely used Coupés or such who have rare operation of the AC because of eco pro mode or AC off driving to extend electric range.
I have my aircon on auto all the time and very rarely drive in eco pro, would be interesting to know the characteristics of ownership for those that have had issues, location, mileage, type of use etc. This is the first I've heard of this, so can't be that common unlike some of the other issues (fuel filler cap, powertrain etc).
