Don't over-dramatize. Valves are important, but they are a relatively simple mechanical units. My kitchen has valves used many times a day and serving years in a row. While rocket valves operate under more complex conditions, they also usually designed and manufactured with more care. So yes, valves can fail - but they also can be made reliable.
