When crashing the program is acceptable and correctness preconditions can be efficiently checked, postconditions usually can be too.
What's interesting to me is the combination of two claims: formal verification is used when crashes are not acceptable, and crashing when formal assumptions are violated is therefore not acceptable. This makes sense on the surface - but the program is only proven crashproof when the formal assumptions hold. That is all formal verification proves.
For example I have run services which existed inside a forever() loop. They exit, and are forceably restarted. Is that viable for a flight control system? No. Does it allow me to meet a low bounds availability problem with OOM killers? Yes, until the size of a quiescent from-boot system causes OOM.
BGP speakers who compile in runtime caps on the prefix count can be entirely stable and run BGP "correctly" right up to the point somebody sends them more than the cap in prefixes. That can take hours to emerge. I lived in that world for a while too.
As for log messages, yeah, people do commonly put log messages in their software for when things like internal consistency checks fail.
