Correct. However, those maintenance costs absolutely do justify working
towards formal proofs of correctness for the existing implementation. These
plans are no secret and are publicly discussed, but I think it would be
instrumental to outsiders if the correctness plans and ongoing progress
could be mentioned whenever a warning is made about unjustified and
dangerous Bitcoin consensus rewrite attempts.
