Yes, simply optimizing for less state and fewer side-effects, and letting the chips fall where they may, is 80% of the benefit. Most of what I do is realtime and/or robotics. Basically, varitions on:
power_on_self_test()
while True:
recover_from_everything_that_has_gone_wrong_so_far()
If the only rule you enforce is making sure every piece of state has a damn good reason for existing life is improved.
