Hasn't been my experience. Code written by Opus 5.5 is pretty much free of "obvious" mistakes, and if you use Rust (which you obviously should) you benefit from very strong compiler checks.

The vibe coded software I've written has a very steep dropoff rate for bugs. There are a few at the start, you get Claude to fix them... then occasional bugs for like a week, and I haven't had to touch the code since.

It really depends on the size I believe, the big bang effect is that if you had the initial rewrite, it's going to be very fast and fairly reliable. But past a certain size and complexity the architectural decision it makes on portion of the project then trends to become negative holistically.
