I also think people are focusing on that particular unwrap() too much, and not enough on a bigger picture: lack of fallbacks

Without fallbacks at the interfaces between different subsystems, there's nothing to stop an error in one place from cascading throughout the whole infra

Config parsing is not the only place where such fallback was missing
