If got to agree. I can’t recall a pipe ever failing due to unreliability.
One issue I did used to have (before I discovered ‘-o pipefail’[1]) was the annoyance that if an earlier command in a pipeline failed, all the other commands in the pipeline still ran albeit with no data or garbage data being piped to them.
