Were any of the valve clearances out of tolerance? I have to doubt they were.
Why would changing the CVT fluid kill the trans? Was this told to you by a Subaru service dept? They're the only ones that (might) have any experience with the Aisin chain drive CVTs that the 2010+ Subarus have. You have to use the correct CVT fluid for them. It's gotta be for Aisin built chain-drive CVTs, NOT belt drive CVTs like most of them are.
I don't know that the electronic throttle bodies are junk on these cars. These same components have been mainstream for more than a decade now.
