Unironically tho this is a good decision if you design for it from the beginning crash-only software style. Most of what I log is INFO and WARN level because unexpected combinations of business-level state are where the real subtle nasty bugs are. Nil reference or whatever can just crash who cares.

It absolutely matters. Reading messages from a message queue? Have users submitting some subtly bad edge case you've never organically seen? Just a crash-restart isn't saving you, and worse because you have a discipline of who cares, you probably have inadequate code helpers to diagnose the scenario that triggered your flaw. If you're business is dead simple, whatever but there's too much code in the world to be pumped into such a limited way of thinking.
