Trust the statistics, you'll get away with it!
I wouldn't be surprised if there is a tad more redundancy within the 380 pack system than that of the 737.
The question I'm left with though, is why did they end up with a rubber jungle. The aircraft cabin altitude shouldn't climb all that rapidly in the case of a second pack failure, so why didn't they beat it down?
