The amount of death wobble when all those conditions are according to MFG specs is a very small percentage. Michael sounds like a prime example of this, and sounds like the dealer took care of it. Which is good to hear.
So far a lot of the guys on this thread that got it had a failure of one or more of the foregoing components listed. I have a 2012, and it's never concerned me. I have never upgraded anything "just in case" on the front of my truck. Just routine maintenance and repairs.

No level kits or lifts, stock tires, just high way and ranch roads
I don’t work in a office or some chemical plant, or use a truck as a grocery getter or mall crawl
Don’t ever abuse them just use them to work with and pull a 25 foot power catamaran when I can get time
IMO our 3/4 and 1 ton trucks went south when they quit putting 16 inch rims and went to 18 and 20’s
My trucks always had 235/85/16 mainly with discount tire pathfinder tires or bfg a/t even our expedition’s got 200,000 + miles with out the DW on 16’s

It’s a c*** shoot if you get it or not I personally think, I think it has a lot to do with the steering stabilizer and the c*** tires the trucks come with as he does have the 18” wheels on his truck, but I don’t get why 18” wheels matter.
My dad and uncle have never gotten it in there 17 dually or 19 F250 though.

Just replaced the steering stabilizer shock on my friends 2019 that I mentioned above. His factory stabilizer was as bad or worse than mine.
I can only speak for certain on 2019's but for anyone with the 17+ body style I would highly recommend looking at the stabilizer shock. Moving the shock by hand feels like internals that keep the fluid separated (and create the dampening effect) are failing.
