Does anyone know if a similar conversation around this issue is needed or being had in the MySQL community?

Sorry for being snarky, but from my ops experience MySQL manages to lose data even without hardware errors[1].

[1] My last experience was due to bug where certain pattern of data made MySQL/MariaDB think the data page was encrypted, after which it proceeded to discard that page and crash complaining that data is corrupter and from that point on refused to start until data got restored.

Ah, sort of “this sequence will never appear in user data” assumption, I guess?
