The most reliable setup is and will always be a fully mechanical system. The engine management should provide bounds to the operation.

Over RPM Cutout: x rpm
Over Boost Cutout: x boost

Have a think about motoring in general until late 1990s.

Brakes = mechanical with vacuum assistance
Steering = mechanical with crank driven assistance
Throttle = mechanical
Gear selection = mechanical

What happens when you are driving a drive by wire car, with an automatic gearbox and there is a control malfunction?

Electronic Systems like this really need to be properly tested and qualified (costs $$$millions)
