I think 5 in 100 is totally reasonable to wave off.

I’m not giving it a second thought personally.

If it happens it will be so bad that I’ll almost certainly die as a result (due to chronic illness) so I should just keep on living as-is and not worry about it.

the "very long term" property of assets has very little present value with any reasonable discount rate, and fewer experienced people to actually care about it.
