Not trying to peddle hearsay, but with just some cursory Googling I can't pull up any citations. IIRC there were several complaints of data loss in the ArqBackup subreddit [0], I think mostly around botched Arq 5 imports (Arq 6 uses a new format and perhaps data was lost in conversions gone awry).

Michael Tsai has a good summary of the situation that he wrote when Arq 6 was just out, and echos my recollection of issues with data loss [1].
