Haven't heard of it happening among the Slimline or Gen5 Glock users at my former agency, but that's obviously a small sampling.
10+K rounds is a lot of usage for the 'average' Glock owner/issued user. If the manufacturing 'fold' of the hooked part of the trigger spring bearing had a sharp bend ('corner') on the bottom, it might've created the potential for an eventual stress riser.
Heavy use guns may benefit from some preventive maintenance replacement of parts. Dunno if Glock is currently considering that spring/bearing assembly as a Wearable Replacement Part. I usually replaced the trigger coil springs in my own Glocks (Gen3/older) sooner than 10K rounds, and if I were running a newer Glock with Gen5 parts I'd probably perform much the same periodic preventive maintenance replacement of some parts.
