Honestly, there's nothing wrong with BB30 if it's assembled right. Majority of the time, people skip certain procedures and that leads to creaking or issues.
Look at it this way, majority of industries use press fit bearings, but it only seems to be the cycle industry that has issues with it. This might be anecdotal, but it does hold a certain amount of truth in it.
For example, certain crank brands offer near zero bearing protection in the form of gaskets or weather sealing, which yeah, might cause issues down the line, but it shouldn't be instant.
Your RSV and my SV are the same.Build them right, and BB30 is a decent standard. I do it weekly and we rarely have any come back because we fit them how they're meant to be fit.

Could you expand upon this in terms of correctly assembling a BB30 bike?

Re. cycle industry and bearings, Eurofighter GMBH lead engineer/ aerodynamicist and keen amateur cyclist calling himself Hambini has a Youtube channel where he takes the piss out of appalling manufacturing standards in the bike biz re. tolerances etc.
Last night he put up a vid where he showed a top end Tifosi carbon frame with a PF BB shell that was drilled oval, not parallel and one side was higher than the other.
