The safest behaviour on such a failure is to do nothing.
The safest behavior is to drop back to a known-good checkpoint on another node, something like a complete system shutdown and image. What vmware is doing is the best compromise between that best case and the case where you really need to continue performing work. But if you know that you have problems that demand that level of paranoia, you are free to process your workloads through a job-processing system on systems which will panic and explode rather than risk compromising output.
