won't be so fast if every change has to be painstakingly reviewed and tested due to the complexity of interactions in the code base

You can write spaghetti code in any language, it turns out. Blaming the language for that is not really an indicator of understanding the problem.

Yes one can do a poor job in pretty much any situation, I'm afraid that's not an argument for anything though.

Here we're talking about average or best-effort: large code bases are complex in spite of the best intentions of their maintainers, so using tools that can manage that conplexity in an easier way through e.g their type systems could lead to better results.
