I've installed Napco 99 to one since the late 70's early 80's and I
can only think of about 5 panels in all that time that have had a
definite lightning hit failure. I do ground my panels, however. I
presume that can make a difference.

The panels that have failed were the "Magnum" type and were actually
burned by the strike or the conductive lands on the PCB were
"opened".

And I've yet to have a Gemini panel take a destructive hit. I did
recently change out a 1000e panel that got destroyed, but the building
structure took a direct hit and destroyed the telephone system, the
sewage pump controls and the AC breaker box too.

Admittedly, lightning isn't a major reoccurring problem in my area
though.
