That's so rare in practice that you should just write it out fully. If it's happening frequently in your app, you should probably rethink your architecture. As time goes on, I've realized why people think asserts are code smells of their own.

Do you not use implicitly unwrapped optionals for IBOutlets?

If you can prove it won’t be nil, normal IBOutlet included, fine.

That's about the only place for them to be acceptable, tbh.

We don't use storyboards or nibs.
