This seems like 5 years down the road this is going to turn into a horror story on HN, about "I went to this customer, and they had been running their entire company database on a single Google Sheet, and now are panicking because the secretary accidentally just deleted everyone from pay roll."

I'm not sure if I'm saying this seriously or not, but:

no worries! In addition to its granular permissions systems which will now let you revoke the secretary's access, Sheets also has a robust backup and restore story built-in! Just click File -> Version history and rollback the offending change. (You can do a live preview of what the effect will be, to confirm you're rolling back the right change.)

The problem Sheets has is that they built a tool that is too good :)

This is the same problem Excel has.

It's a horror show that you can run a major bank on it... but also not, because you can run it pretty well.

As if the same didn't happen plenty of times with proper DBs.
