Yeah, some of the problems are not Block 2 specific. Maybe the resonance and disappearing Raptor 2s are, but some of the leaks, blown up COPVs, and heat shield issues will destroy Block 3s, too.
Have they had heatshield issues? So far, as long as a ship didn't lose attitude control or fail on ascent, the ship survived to splashdown.
Which ship had leaked photos of the inside of the payload bay during reentry with burned through areas randomly scattered all over?
But, also, can't have heat shield issues if the ship blows up on ascent or during testing.
