There are more better ways to make a player fear for their character other than death.

Like killing a beloved NPC, making the situation much worse, taking away their valuables, making their god angry, being hunted by assassins, making them wanted across the kingdom.

Death isn't the only punishment a GM/DM has at their disposal.

sometimes allowing an outcome that should mechanically via the rules of the game and logically via the rules of common sense has more downsides than upsides

it doesn't have to refer to exclusively player death
