This is normal? not having unsafe code does not guarantee absence of bugs, but at least it isolates the problematic bits in the sections marked as unsafe.
If you need unsafe, you can always use unsafe.
Battle tested codebases like bind or openssh — and many others, independently of the language of implementation — had bugs in the past. It always helps to have extra assurances. Using safe/Unsafe is one more tool to have assurances.
