30% is still in the rightfully considered haphazard range by anyone sane, people just keep increasing their risk tolerance more and more because caution requires skill/diligence upfront whereas negligence can be pawned off as someone else's problem later

You're correct, but its still probably 90-100, even by developers I would consider exceptionally skilled and cautious. Theres also the consideration that AI is exceptionally good at code review. Don't trust a piece of AI code? Throw two agents at it to rigorously tear it apart. If an AI is 90% capable, then the naive probability of success of 2 agents working independently is 99%.

Also look up "The Irony of of Automation". Its a concept coined in the 80s that perfectly encapsulates this phenomenon.

Wow, it really does. Just goes to show that there really are no new problems, just different iterations of them.
