Fan design and replacement availability

While it is not normally a concern, I do remember hearing that the RTX3080/3090 fans are very, very expensive.
That AMD RX6000 series also uses a shrouded blade design.
Both solutions seem to work very well but....
Is anybody concerned as to whether replacements will be available in the event of a failure?
It is one of the reasons why I'm waiting on all designs to be released.
I'd consider a good AIB card with 'regular' fans as long as the price is not unreasonably high.
Are both companies using dual ball-bearing fans?
I would hope so...given the cost of the cards.
