I think that's a reasonable take for a usecase like ML. In most code, >99% of your bugs will be the one you write yourself, and debugging the few bugs from Julia itself is really not much harder than debugging your own, in my experience.
Of course it's annoying that Julia itself is this buggy, but the problem is sometimes framed as if it causes some fundamental uncertainty and doubt about your program because the compiler can't possibly be debugged, whereas is my experience, when you see a Julia bug, it's just another bug, usually in some bog-standard stdlib function which you can easily inspect using code introspection.
And again, I've maybe seen 20 Julia bugs in 4 years of coding it daily, compared to probably 20,000 of my own bugs.
