These predictions do not tend to age well. I am not an aerospace engineer, but Starship seems to be fairly hopeful.
Already Falcon 9 shows that you do not need to fully disassemble engines etc. to be sure that they are OK. A static fire with enough sensors will do, and nowadays they don't even do that.
If you look at the table of booster reuses of Falcon 9, failures happen, but they are infrequent.
