I guess. You could say the same thing about a valve spring or a hundred other parts. When they break, it will cause lots of damage. However, in normal cases they do not break. I wouldn't replace the timing chains on my cars just out of fear they might break. That'd be like overhauling your whole engine to make sure nothing breaks requiring an overhaul. You are spending the money up front for sure, vs down the road maybe but probably not.
Anyway, different strokes, everyone has an opinion on what is worth the money and what is worth the risk.
