Wow. Doesn't sound like much fun.
For whatever it is worth, perhaps I lead a charmed life, but in five years of owning a normally aspirated, and then a P337, I had none of those problems. I don't operate out of the short, less improved strips that you do, so I might not have been as hard on the brakes and tires. But in all that ownership time, all I experienced was a loud THUMP one time when I brought the gear up. I put it back down, landed, we examined everything, then I flew the airplane two hours with the gear down. Later examination found I had low hyd fluid level, but no leak. We filled it up, it was fine for the rest of the time I owned the '65.
I did have voltage regulator problems, and some other electrical problems, out the ying yang. I also had cowl flap motor problems due to a difficult to solve front engine oil leak. But that was really it for me as far as I recall...
