I think this is too pessimistic. If all you do is test your error detection and backup recovery mechanism (of course you have backups right)? Then that’s an advantage.
Let’s say a hard power off causes data corruption that can’t be fixed. For lots of applications downtime is better than corruption, so in that case you at least will be able to test when you should take the system down and recover from a known good backup.
