Absolutely panic in a production environment.

Potential data corruption is far worse, so is a potential security compromise.

It really depends on the use case!

E.g. performing industrial control automation or airplane rudder control in a completely segregated network.

You want control over these tradeoffs, not hardcoded behaviors.

Linux is ill suited for that.

Look at seL4, minix3, eChronos instead.
