Masters that would be used to make stamped products... audio CDs, media
discs, etc.

If the disc has defects in the are where the TOC is recorded, then it is
quite likely that you will experience this kind of problem.

That isn't unusual. I use CD-RWs for daily backup, and DVD-RWs in my video
recorders for time shifting off-air material. I've only had one or two
failed discs in years of use. But, that is a somewhat different matter
than archival storage for decades, as would be typical of film, for
instance.
