I don't savescum... but I've had a couple of bugs or glitches with the reboots that I'm afraid to start an ironman game and not be able to go back to a previous turn.

You can still backup save files in Ironman on Steam actually, it's just too messy to use all the time for a failed shot. But it is better to save once in a while than lose the entire game, like I had once in UE4, ruining a very promising world conquest.
