Slightly less power/mpg is nothing compared to the pages of "my dpf failed and the dealer wants $1,000 to replace it and also its on backorder" complaints on forums.
Which was a problem before the scandal even then because vw was trying to use a def free system, which is nowhere near as robust and is notorious for failures compared to the def systems competitors used. The fix really stressed it harder.
