2019 reliability

Hi all. I want to join the " club" and have been a VW guy for 10 plus years,but have a question regarding the reliability of the 2019s or older Rs. Do they have the same water pump issues that the s3s have? Or should I spend the extra cash and get a 22 or newer? Also, I'm 6 foot 2, so can I fit in it comfortably? Or maybe just get a 23 Arteon Sel premium.
