Is there the same problems with this engine that is being experienced by the eco sport and focus caused by a wet timing belt failure?

I know the Puma is a steel timing belt. But there is still another wet belt driving the fuel pump

The Puma has had no reported problems and I don't think any post 2019 fiesta's have either. There are other threads on here discussing it.
There are still an awful lot of Fiesta's pre 2019 running about with no problem.

Presumably the pump's belt could still suffer some degredation if the 'wrong oil' were to be used and end up gunking things up, I'd imagine. It doesn't seem to be too big of an issue though, going by the lack of internet chatter about it.
