That's quite a stretch. The report states explicitly a) the usual proviso that they can only prove the presence of bugs, not their absence, but more pertinently b) that their methodology is more usually applied to lower-latency databases, with the implication that they are less confident of their conclusions in this new regime:
> Radix’s low throughput and high latency may have masked safety violations. In particular, our tests required several hours to reproduce e.g. aborted read (#13).
Note also that they didn't even attempt to test what happens in the presence of malicious nodes!
