Just chiming in to say you're certainly not ignored, it's an 
article on d-idioms 
https://p0nce.github.io/d-idioms/#Unrecoverable-vs-recoverable-errors

I tend to follow your advice and let some assertions in 
production, even for a b2c product I was surprised to see it 
works well, as it's a lot better than not having bug reports and 
stay with silent failure in the wild. None of that would happen 
with "recovered" bugs.
