MySQL still has some unsafe behaviours. Even if it were to fix them all, I still wouldn't use it or recommend it, on account of finding it difficult-to-impossible to trust the design and engineering behind it.
MySQL was very upfront about it, though. They always said that if you wanted that stuff, there are real RDBMS for that.
