The key is maintenance.
If you have one propulsion source you do everything to keep it in pristine shape.
No rust anywhere on the engine, replacements for the major and minor failure points of the engine on board.. and the education to do the work, multiple racors and a electric prime pump, carefully monitor fuel taken aboard, multiple engine monitoring systems, choosing when and where you operate.
All these things combined help to promote safer voyaging.
