I don't think the idea here was to ever make the stack traces *safe*,
just to redact the most obvious things to reduce the risk if someone
carelessly posts a stack trace publicly.

Personally, I think the "Java model" as exemplified in
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/92334/ PS3 goes too far in the
other direction. In this case, an option to log unredacted traces that
I could enable on my local test wiki would be useful.
