Tell me about Shimano quiet hubs

My daughter and I built a wheel using a Shimano FH-M9111XTR hub. That thing is SUPER quiet when she is coasting down hills, I love it. They are so much quieter than the Shimano XT FH-M8110 i have on my bike. I'd like to build another set of wheels that are quiet like my daughters, but I'm finding a lot of different info, some times conflicting info, about Shimano hubs and noise. Some articles say these hubs are really prone to failure, and Shimano quietly dropped that technology. SO is that technology gone? SHould hubs like be avoided for larger heavier riders?
