Yep, Airbus went full fly by wire 40 years ago, and while the feedback and some of the integration choices have been debated, I can’t say I remember concerns about the reliability. Boeing has also switched to FBW on their recent planes. And military went FBW a while back, in fact since the F-117 FBW has generally become a requirement because they’re all aerodynamically unstable to improve manoeuvrability and integrate stealth geometry, so they pretty much can’t fly without the FBW system adjusting constantly. Though I would also guess the mechanical linkages of an airliner are under a lot more stress than a car’s, so the gains from FBW would be a lot larger, even aside from not having to run mechanical linkages through the entire hull.
