Remember, we're necessarily just talking about servers here; every single hospital has mission-critical client machines that cannot go down and obviously those aren't load balanced or clustered. (Though mostly they seem to be running Windows.)

For safety-critical systems, resetting on a fault is very much factored into the worst-case response time and expected behaviour.
PANIC on fault is exactly what you design into the systems.
So why is not the world running on C64s?

The world does run on microcontrollers that have roughly the same processing capability as a c64...
The vast majority of processors sold are not i5 or i7 level but microcontrollers.
