10th gen accord 2.0t head gasket issues

I’m in the market for a newer car and have narrowed it down between the accord 2.0t, Mazda cx30 or cx50 2.5t.
One big thing with the accord is the block design with the coolant passage causing head gasket failures.
This will be a daily driver and won’t be modified
Would a stud kit like arp or inline studs prevent this issue?
Can you do a one by one bolt removal so I don’t have to remove the head and timing components?
