Yup. Cancelling should be easy, but one-click for something that can't be undone is unreasonable. This is especially an issue with web pages as the nature of browsers will cause occasional wild misclicks--you click just as the browser succeeds in loading something that caused the layout to change.
I very much favor type-to-delete for important irreversible actions--and when it's delete one of a list the type-to-delete is the name of the object you are getting rid of. I never implement one-click for options which are rarely used and are potentially bad. This isn't a dark pattern, this is simply sensible UI design. (My entire career has been spent programming for industry--I have absolutely zero reason to implement any sort of dark pattern as my users aren't my customers.)
