I'm so confused. So many people say "don't buy it, you will lose your data." Is there an ssd that everybody can agree on that works fast and is also reliable?!?

I want to buy a NVMe SSD but almost every one I see that shows up here people are saying don't buy it.

Buy Intel, Samsung, Western Digital.

Team Group, not so much.

2nd or 3rd tier - I have several, all working fine so far (not being used much) - not quite convincing though.

There's a lot of FUD that goes around about storage. If you aren't a min-maxing storage enthusiast, get the cheapest one that isn't a no-name. Think of it how audiophiles talk about speakers and headphones. There's a grain of truth to some of the talk, but a grain is just a grain.

All drives can and will eventually fail. If your data is important to you invest in a backup solution. Spending more on your favorite reliable brand does not change this. Personally I've got a team group drive going on 4.5 years in my wife's laptop and it's still doing fine but it's also backed up to my NAS weekly so if it dies it's not that big a deal. I throw another drive in the machine and restore and back to normal quickly enough.

Team Group, not so much.
First off, you need to determine if your system is PCIe x3 or x4.
x4 will work in x3 but throughput will be limited by the PCIe channel. I have a WD Black SN850 a top of the line PCIe x4 NVME. But, it's in a x3 PC so it's not really any faster than a drive like the TeamGroup. Frankly, not much faster than a good SSD in home daily operation.
Know what you need, be realistic about what you want and expect. It does take some digging and learning.

Longevity is a whole different issue but it does have a 5 year warranty. Failure rate on NVME is generally considered very low. OTOH, I've had 2 SSD's fail, and one NVME soldered into a laptop that is down to ~60% health. Even Samsung, the 'rock' of SSD/NVME has had a recent problem with it's top tier NVME.
It happens > backup.

What's good to put in an external USB-C drive? Thinking for expanding an M2 Mac mini.
