Currently FBC is more like like "driving backwards on one wheel". I'm
not sure there's much point in trying to make it fault tolerant while we
know the code is still broken. Once it's otherwise known to be solid,
then it might make sense, although a much cooler thing would be if we
could actually detect when the display has failed entirely and recover
it somehow.
Oh and to make the protection mechanism actually kick in reliably you
would somehow need to address the problems with the underrun interrupts.
At the moment, to continue your car analogy, it's like the airbags would
refuse to deploy in a real crash if you happened to ding the mailbox
while pulling out of your driveway.
