I've never had a problem with the PEI plate that came with my V3 KE but I've only printed PLA. I understand that PETG doesn't play nice with PEI and that it is better to use adhesive when printing PETG, not for extra adhesion but to improve release. I think I've only cleaned the sheet (with washing up liquid and hot water) once since I got the printer, though I am careful not to touch the print surface. Often prints release as soon as I lift the print plate and if they don't then they release as soon as they cool down. I've never had to use a scraper.
