Honestly, I've found that if steel or aluminum fail when riding hard the same thing is going to happen, so it's really not worth worrying about so much.
I just inspect my bikes before I ride them, and inspect them very closely when I pull everything apart for more thorough cleaning and maintenance. Haven't had any major problems with that routine.
