Don't know what your domain is, but most experienced devs in most of the domains I work in turn off those assertions because they slow the absolute hell out of debug builds. Like yes, debug builds are naturally slower, but there's slow and there's unbearable, and MSVC's debug checks are simply unbearable. GCC/clang both have a set of reasonable assertions that don't impact performance too much, so if possible I use those to do my testing.
