...eventually.

They didn’t launch humans on the Falcon 9 for the first 10 years either. Lots of time to iron out the kinks (though it will likely be much less than 10 years this time)

Humans aren’t landing propulsively on f9 either - if the landing fails it just costs money. The capsule lands with parachutes.

The Mars mission has a somewhat tighter timeline.

Aspirationally, yes, but it's not like they run out of money if they don't get to Mars that fast.
