If filenames are pointing out a ton of bugs in programs that aren't sanitizing input, I'd say that's fine. If the shell is misinterpreting filenames, it's probably being way too liberal in how it allows you to construct scripts, or at the least should include a "warning" linter mode. Bash is probably the best program in the whole Unix-like environment, but it's crufty. What I'd say needs to be fixed is the artificial limit on sizes of names and paths, and I think everything should just default to UTF8 at this point.
