At least with Starship we have seen the booster land so there is the existence proof. It just needs to not catch fire afterwards :-)

No! We haven't! I'm nitpicking but we saw the upper stage prototype.

Besides, I believe their landing method is to catch the booster with the mechazilla which should be quite a show.

Fair enough, my rocket nomenclature is not very good. "The one Starship piece that flew, bellyflopped, and landed followed by catching fire." :-). SN-15 in May 2021. [1]
