i have searched and failed so any help would be great.

Its usually the rod bolts that leg go first

So when people rebuild the motors, RB26 rods, or aftermarket's go in there in place so it'll be hard to get a good gauge IMO as its very uncommon for the RB25 to get to that point

I don't actually know of anyone who has thrown a rod because of the rod failing on an RB25 yet. I know of spun bearings usually to do with oil control problems. Fastest of any of the guys I know running stock rods (and pistons) is a guy who was running ~10.6-10.7 with full interior at around 130mph. Rods and pistons never let go with that car, had oil starvation after the pump didn't like a rev to 8300rpm or so during its last run on stock internals.

As spindly as they look, I've never actually seen one break.

And we have done some silly things to them - 400rwkw and 8500rpm.

I'm not sure if I recommend you try that though!
