I keep seeing more threads with people continuing to recommend injector replacement and it turns out to be something to do with the coils.
I understand your concern.
I have never tried it but there is a relatively inexpensive tool ($150+) where you can touch the plug boot with motor running that will tell you whether plug is firing or not.

Also, it is my understanding, one coil fires 2 cylinders. Therefore, if you determine 2 sets of plugs corresponding to one coil are both not firing obvious suspect would be coil.
Having said that, based on my experience (two out of 6,700+ production), coil seems to be less of a weaker link then injectors. I suspect introduction of ethanol seems to have contributed to this. Just my thoughts.
