Shocks that have a problem like wear or damage, etc. need to be rebuilt. Their design as a mono-tube high pressure gas, twin-tube lowe pressure gas or twin-tube hydraulic has absolutely no bearing on a need to be rebuild. Kind of like saying "What engines need rebuilding...4, 6 or 8 cylinder?" The answer is "Engines with a problem requiring a rebuild and that are capable of being rebuilt".

No, there are good and poor examples all designs. The answer is to get the best dampers that you can afford and fit your usage expectations.
