The behavior is different if a panic occurs, isn't it? But is there any chance that this particular initialization code might panic in the first place?

Given the current code and no races against the values being initialized: no, there is no chance for a panic.

This is not a good assumption. The code will panic, for instance when it can't allocate memory, or runs into signal handling issues.
