What’s the typical failure rate of a method call within a process of a language of your choice?

If it’s not Java2k it will be one or two orders of magnitude lower than any cross-process, host or provider RPC call you’re ever going to make.

At smaller scales, just not having to deal with all the bugs and cleanup work missed error handling brings - and then building proper error handling for all relevant cases - can make a huge difference.
