Default Lead-free solder is such a PITA (rant/whinge)

You seem to have the fault identified, but just to add another
perspective - since you're getting multiple failures of the solenoid
coils, and you're /assuming/ RoHS lead-free soldering is to blame
without having (yet) found evidence, perhaps you could look at other
common factors. Is the supply voltage to the coils stable, for
instance? Loose connection causing unstable voltage/surges/sags at the
coil? Voltage too high? etc. etc.
