Yes - excellent developers are a productivity multiplier.
It’s not about the 12’o clock shoot-from-the hip duel - the one who shoots more codepoints in the general direction leaves winner.
A piece of code - if it ends up in production - has so many potential ways to waste work hours that avoiding just a fraction of them is a huge win.

These are not reproducible crashes generally (as most developers can fix those), but rather bad developer decisions that led to a system that is hard to make bug-free due to the way it's structured. Even the decision to use a programming language without pointers can lead to fewer unexplained crashes, security vulnerabilities, etc.
