Taking my own example - you can both monitor for panics per http request, while preserving SLO for other requests server by the same process. Crashing the program is strictly worse imo, since there are other concurrent requests which will now fail for no reason. I agree unhandled panicking makes sense sometimes. It’s context dependent. Program state is a good argument, but I think it really depends.
