At most, I would think it would destroy one server if there was major defect. But solenoid valves are pretty reliable. It's easy to imagine some absorbant material as a fallback, a negative pressure loop, and pressure/humidity sensors that could shut everything down within seconds of a minor leak.
There's no pressure to push anything off it's connector, and in the event of anything failing and disconnecting in a major way, the loop starts draining the other way by atmospheric pressure.
Water pumps are pretty cheap, you could have triple redundant pumps per rack for an irrelevant cost.
Air pumps are also cheap. You could even enclose your connections to heat blocks in a second layer of slight negative pressure, that would both contain any drop-an-hour leaks that somehow happened, and funnel it to a humidity sensor.
If they use anything like Fluorinert, I'm pretty sure a whole rack of this kind of tech could cost less than a single gallon of that stuff.
I'm actually kind of surprised consumer water cooling setups aren't like this. It might be a pretty fun project, and you could probably use 3D printed parts depending on how much you trust the active controls.
