Here’s the catch, as you scale up, more and more users could get caught in the edge case. Remember why we build systems — for end users to use. It is our job as engineers/technologists to solve them. This is where trade-offs in engineering and product are important. Is the edge case safety critical or poses a safety risk? If so, it definitely should be considered and handled. Does the edge case block a critical user flow (eg. purchase/checkout step)? If so, it should probably be considered. Does the edge case result in some non-critical piece of UX having the wrong padding in some lesser trodden user flow? Possibly acceptable.
