While Rakudo certainly crashes more than anyone wants, it doesn't crash anywhere near as often as you suggest. It's a good thing, as it is implemented in itself; you couldn't get to line one of your script without crashing if it crashed every couple of hundred lines. Actually, I don't know when the last time I got a random crash in Rakudo was; it may have been years ago. Getting a crash because you ran out of memory, on the other hand, definitely can happen in bigger programs.
