Hi,
A couple of issues..
* You say it´s a full bridge driver.. but datasheet says "push-pull" or "half bridge".
A full bridge needs to drive 2x HIGH side and 2x LOW side. But the device can drive just 2 x LOW side MOSFETS.
* duty cycle is specified to be less than 50%. a dead time of 110ns typically
--> better post the schematic you are taking about to get a more focussed discussion.
* you say "massive reverse recovery". How massive it is depends on dead time, rise time, current, reverse recovery behaviour.
100ns is not uncommon.
I don´t see a generally "reduced lifetime"
