Your V8 is fine as you researched. It is not on any RR, as they ended in 2012.
The ones that I'm looking at $25k the 5.0 issue seems to be like IMS. Multiple people on forums have lost engines, but then so was IMS, a small percentage in the real world. Anyway, there are few things I like better about the 07-09's, especially price. There is a RR buyer's guide book out there detailing the problems.
From my POV, your car, late 2013 with rear diff/spare is very hard to find, you did well.
