FWIW Apple has sold a LOT of phones, and many if not all of them are
backing up and sharing data via iCloud. Syncing can often take a
while, and sometimes you can end up with duplicated data. (These were
both more of a problem in the early days of iCloud.) However, I've
never heard of anyone losing data. I feel confident it would be all
over the tech press if it was an issue.

Of course past performance is no guarantee of future success, and
certainly no guarantee that MS will get it right too. But these sorts
of systems have been rock solid.
