It's been proven to work?.
A submersible constructed of carbon fiber went to depths that many metallic submarines and submersibles cannot.
If somebody constructs a submersible and then tests it to 5000m and finds it fails on the 200th run after exhibiting for the past 50 dives bad acoustic data. Wouldn't you think it's fine for them to take people on the same designed submersible that's only done 100th runs and still has good data?
Everything is a consumable in the long run. They didn't have data on what Titan looks like before a failure. Although in hindsight the acoustic data looks really bad, the issue really is just the specific design didn't have a known lifespan. A submserible without that defect is going to be a lot safer.
