Aren't smaller transistor sizes also more susceptible to radiation issues which means you can't really use newer processors without ever more effort in radiation hardening?

Smaller transistors also have a smaller cross-section so for the same number of transistors this somewhat cancels out.

  But then you have to build for redundancy rather than just performance (say, sacrifice some floor-plan to error correction, recovery, circuit duplication, etc...)

    Still a game of probability either way.
