Unless you are OK with it breaking at a race and calling it a day. And that would apply to nearly anything you are DEPENDING on to stay working.
That's just Murphy's law. If it can break it will.. Therefor, have extras.
So, empathy.. Yea.. None. It's a hobby...

Rule #1: Unacceptable. Just because I can afford it doesn't mean I wish to throw all my disposable income at a hobby.
Rule #2: Again; unacceptable. In my experience, if mounted right, the more vulnerable parts are protected. The other more easily attainable stuff are acceptable casualties. I design (perhaps "over-engineer" is a better word) my setups to be built and run with little maintenance and with crashes in mind.
So, instead of throwing money at a problem, I would rather throw my intellect at it. But that's just me.
