Although I've worried a little about reliability, CAN has always worked very well for our team. PWM has proven more unreliable than CAN. My main concern with CAN is that it's a single point of failure: one module fails or gets disconnected, and the whole chain may be offline. So, we are very careful with the cables we make, we perform tension tests before and after installation, and we fasten the cables to something near each end. Making the software fault-tolerant is also important.
Good luck!
