I think this engenders mixed feelings. Human beings by nature are creatures of habit. If you install an end if the road fail safe system, then the human syche, IMHO, will eventually rely on this, and MAY wander into territory that thinks, I am ok regardless.

It may be that necessary skills are then not honed, with an over reliance on either the technology, or the Fail Safe System. If the aeroplane in question, has a spin problem, then, again in my view, is that really safe?

I have not flown a Cirrus, nor been privy to be a passenger, and individuals that I know, who have one, praise them.

However, was the fixing of a parachute recovery system in the Cirrus, a nice to have, or a necessary requirement?
