Will this be your only car? If you do run into an issue, it may take a lot of time to get repaired.
As far as big percentages lost in battery capacity (not referring to the quirky issues you reported at the end of your lease). My guess is if your battery loses 30% there will be something more than just capacity degradation going on - like one or more cells going bad. This will likely lead to a condition that will qualify for replacement under warranty.
You have more experience with the car having two of them, so you probably have a better idea of what to expect than most.
I think the question you have to ask yourself is how much risk are you willing to take? If you plan to keep the car for 6 years and buy one off of a 3 year lease, it will be 9 years old. No one has a any data on the reliability of the car at 9 years old. I don't think anyone knows what presence Fiat will have in the US and what realistic repair options you will really have. If they do import the new 500e to the states, then my guess is you will have more options than if they don't.
It also comes down to money. There are very few options for a low cost EV with a real TMS. Probably the Spark is the only real alternative. There aren't many out there and your only option is to get an older one. Personally I would still pick the 500e over the Spark.
If you have the cash, I would look at something like the Bolt. GM is likely to be around for a while and it will be easier to get support.
