do it right up front,

Ok, but again what do you suggest is 'right' then, any example? Because as laid out, for me, it is right, since we have zero problems.

Every application I've ever seen written under labview is expected by its creators and its users to crash randomly and continually for no explainable reason.

Hmm, strange. Sounds to me like those creators must be doing something wrong. I mean, we've been running a couple of Labview applications for +10 years and I honestly think none of them ever crashed (where 'crash' means suddenly stops working without apparent reason because of a bug in Labview itself, not come to a halt due to programmer error). Also wen to, I don't know, 3 or 4 updates, without much problems. Again I think it just comes down to hwat I said first: the hard part might be fuguring out how to do Labview right, I guess.



Or the labview runtime is absymal and broken and you simply haven't tripped over any of its thousands of broken cases in the minimal use of it you've done.
