On modern systems, crashes happen maybe once a year, while outright disk failures or undetected memory errors corrupting disk blocks happen maybe every 100 years. So if the chance of corruption from a crash is 1%, the overall risks are comparable.
Given that, I’d probably choose performance over guaranteed crash recovery for most systems.
