I totally disagree. Overflow almost certainly represents a bug and the violation of various invariants. Your code is doing something, even if it isn't giving radiation doses. Computing the wrong data and storing it can cause problems for customers, modify data you didn't plan on touching, or render data entirely inaccessible if various encryption operations are performed incorrectly. Just like most things are not the Therac-25, most things are also not safety critical when they crash. Some web service that crashes just means that it returns 500 and you see it on whatever stability dashboard.
