The exact numbers for when it messes something up, but keeps running, are unknown and highly ubpredictable.
According to above post, about 10% of firefox crashes (more numbers found in the post) are caused by this stuff. It's not unreasonable to say those crashes could've had the bitflip happen on content instead, changing maybe a character on the page or something.
Note that it's not 10% of *users*, as that's reslly hard to figure out. Someone with bad RAM will likely crash more often.

So no. You're optimizing around an edge case and something users don't give a fuck about. Got it. 👍
