Am I correct?
I believe the quality of the reman or competence of the rebuild is key, regardless of modifications. I've put 40,000+ miles on stock transmission that was installed over 15 years and 120,000 ago (assuming the install for which I have a receipt was the only such service) and has no auxiliary filter, cooler, nor any other mods of which I'm aware, and it performs flawlessly. Certainly these days a premium replacement unit won't come cheap.
