Really?
I will admit I have limited experience in "newer" other brand standard ships, but I can't say I EVER had an issue with the divebrakes in a -24 (couple hundred hours flying it, numerous off airport landings, nothing broken....).

Granted, I prefer 15M or longer with landing flaps AND dive brakes to a short field.......
Go back to my previous comment on, "how do you normally land at a known field?".
