Maybach delivered almost all engines for German AFV. But reliability has so many factors, you have to dive into the unit reports to get a good opinion on them. In the case of the HL230 P30 (used by the KT and JT), these were built by Maybach, as well as Mercedes-Benz and Auto-Union. And there are often mentioned in repair logs.
For instance, the engines used in the Ferdinand, or the King Tiger/Jagdtiger were often called 'unreliable'. But if you read this. A lot of these vehicles were often knocked out by external reasons, sabotaged filters/oil (metal shavings), worn bearings, damaged running gear/gearboxes, wiring problems. Inexperienced crews also get credited a lot for breaking them down. Not to mention the extreme lengths the Werkstatt (workshop) had to go through to get these things going again. Often remaining 7-14 days in the workshop before being operational. (Logistics is another interesting side note to this topic.)
Unfortunately, I can't find much information about those engines (HL120-TRM) used in the Pz 4 etc. Would be an interesting read for sure.
