I've never read a single complaint about random restarts on Mobile Read, and a lot of us happen to own the N7 2013. Do you want the rest of us to start Googling "HDX failure" and citing "widespread" issues that haven't affected us at all?
You say you're a technical user but defer vaguely to "the forums," which seems to mean the vast gestalt of forums all across the web, from which you have culled an unsubstantiated consensus -- not only of those with reboot issues, but a cross-ref of the dissatisfied against the satisfied. And on that basis, you "caution" MR members -- some of whom write their own DRM-stripping software and custom firmware -- not to risk owning a Nexus 7. That isn't a technical argument, friend. It's ad populum barking.

I'll leave the insulting up to you, since it seems to be an area where you excel. I'll simply say that in the summer, when I was evaluating whether to upgrade from my Nexus 7 - 2012 to the 2013, I read AndroidForums.com and AndroidTablets religiously. And the random reboots especially, but also the touchscreen issues, became such common complaints that people were reporting returning the devices. It was complained about as much in AndroidForums as the blue haze has been on Amazon Discussions, and much MORE than the blue haze has been an issue here.
