Something like the SiA471DJ comes in the same pinout and package, has almost 1/10th the on-resistance, and over 10x the current rating. Moreover, its datasheet does not have such a lengthy disclaimer about its abilities:
If I were in the same situation I'd choose that part for a replacement --- sources online show it's basically the same price, and why replace it with the same failure-prone part just to risk it doing the same thing again? This isn't even a high-frequency application, it's just a power switch.
