Hmm, I'm not sure about the cost and weight. The Nikkor AF-P 18-55 is available both with and without VR, the price difference is marginal (in absolute terms), as is the weight: 195 vs 205 grams.
Reliability might be a different topic, though. However, at least the gyros should have become a mass product by now (thanks to smartphones).
I still think that it's primarily a question of what type of viewfinder one primarily uses. For anything with an optical viewfinder, ILIS still has clear advantages in my eyes, while combined with an EVF, IBIS offers universal coverage... except for long lenses? Is that still an issue?
