Not at all, "let it crash" is simply a way of phrasing "consider reset in your flow of control". In embedded systems, certainly safety-critical ones, you have to consider the possibility of a reset path at all points in your flow of control. Your code resetting is a valid flow of control. This is absolutely necessary to get a properly robust system. Your drone system needs to be able to handle a reset at any point and still maintain adequate control of the aircraft. This is "Let it crash". "Let it crash" is essentially the same thing. Take account of the necessity of reset, because you can't stop it happening.
