The Golf R has the typical cooling system issues noted. They can also have some electrical issues. The engine and DCT are fairly reliable and robust. I'd steer clear of the 6MT due to reliability issues, weak clutch, etc.
If you tune it, the warranty is gone. VW/Audi is pretty stringent about mods and will blame the mods even when it doesn't make sense.
These cars aren't hard to work on, but if you have a shop do the work, VW repairs are near BMW repair costs. Keep that in mind.
