If your memory safe driver returns error 9000 from the initialization routine, your system does not BSOD. That's the whole damn point. Memory safe (and well designed) languages like Rust force you to think about error handling. Yes there is panic, but it is possible to forbid panic by policy/compiler options and truly force all code to use error handling for every possible corner case, and then your code *provably* cannot BSOD the system.
