You're not necessarily inviting chaos, you're making a cost/benefit analysis of moving faster or safer. I prefer to move faster.

Moving safer takes up a lot of, imo, unnecessary time with dubious payoffs. I'd personally rather live on the side of YOLO and ship a lot then hem/haw over getting certain % unit test coverage (and the maintenance costs that come with that in the face of uncertain requirements).
