What's scary about TPMS not functioning correctly? Honest question; I've only had a TPMS incorrectly tell me there's an issue so I disable it.

On some vehicles (Honda, IIRC) if the TPMS isn't working (dead sensor battery, interference, etc) the stability control system will assume the tire on that wheel can't be trusted to apply grip when correcting the vehicle's trajectory, so you might not stay on the road in an oversteer/understeer situation.

Did you ever have a severe issue with a tyre that TPMS missed?

I consider overly frequent false positives to be a severe issue, so yes, I have.
