I don't think there is evidence modern satellite electronics have gotten less reliable. In mean time between failure of satellite electronics have increased dramatically since the 1970s. Satellites with vastly more complex electronics than voyager now routinely operates 15 years.
In the 70s, 2-5 years would have been a good run for any satellite.
