You are correct. No programming language will protect you from writing flawed application logic.

I don't know about that. GTK is more "battletested" than most frameworks, and has a lot of contributors to fix bugs. Also, and that's a very important point, GTK cares for accessibility! Using any other framework would have meant excluding a lot of people from the GUI.
As for assumptions, i certainly hope GTK devs don't push breaking changes to the ABI on minor updates. But i guess that's yet another assumption that can be broken.
