Generally, we're pretty comfortable with the main floor and basement but would love a cool upstairs for sleeping. Given the until would only run 1/3 of the year anyway...I don't see the burnout concern. Surely they are made better then that?
To do both furnaces I'd expect to spend 9k and I'd prefer not to do that.
Anyway, anyone running this kind of setup?

I have this and it isn't an issue, imo. We usually leave the furnace fan on the main floor/basement furnace running, which circulates cool air from the basement to the main floor.
It doesn't give that "cold" air conditioned feeling to the whole house, so if that's what you want you should do both. But it easily keeps the bedrooms/upstairs cool. We mostly use it at night, although on really hot days we run it all the time.
We've had it for a few years with zero issues so far.
