From a security standpoint, it really depends on your threat model.
But when it comes to software reliability, you rarely if ever should be worrying about kernel or driver bugs.
Given the above, writing your code using a memory safe language is still a huge net benefit.

For an application developer, yeah, you don't need to worry. In general... If I had a dime just for all various types of kernel memory read/write vulnerabilities due to kernel bugs and bad drivers, I'd have a lot of dimes.
