Is this really a problem in practice?

The issue is that "it can be".

Solar inverter OEM's have long argued that UL 1741 is too stringent because the assumption is that linesmen always check for voltage on the line before working on it.

Multiple layers of protection are the way to go here. Just as in our industry, just a route-map may not be enough. A route-map + prefix list is a better plan.
