Honestly, with your awareness of "as good as it can" wouldn't it be fair to
tell people that they spend millions all over the planet for something that is
not working? How can you expect the situation to get any better if you cover
the problem by buying certs only for the reason to avoid warnings that are
useless anyways? 
You know things go wrong and still do support it. I think one should have
learned in the after-Snowden-era where this leads to.
