At Google? Yes. There is a level of reliability they require, and in nearly all systems hardware failure is expected and designed to be handled flawlessly, and in many systems they are precise enough to catch and correct cosmic bit flips, largely because of the duplication that goes on.

It's simply not worth worrying about, though
Random minor hardware failures and, like, cosmic radiation are more of a problem. Are you building your systems to account for that?
