I don't think you have anything to worry about. Internal fuel filters are used on lots of newer vehicles, and if there were consistent issues, it would rapidly cause design changes.

And even if you do get bad gas and have to change the filter, it's a lot easier than it sounds. I helped a buddy change his fuel pump/filter on his 98 Chevy pickup (1500) - 2 hrs max to drop the tank, change the pump, and re-install. Hardest part was finding a brass punch to release the pump from the tank without causing a spark.
