You know, I can't remember a time, when I've got a segfault just because of poorly written strxxx code. It just doesn't happen this often in real life. In practice, it only happens in relatively complex code that interfaces to other languages, and in these cases usually you are facing a lot more trouble with memory management, so tracking of string sizes is peanuts in this case. Real danger of C strings is that they create vulnerabilities in the network code. But unfortunately this is precisely the place, where latency is important, where everything is in C and where a solution to stop using C just wouldn't do.
