usually, yes.

however, from time to time, SH4 will attempt to do something and fail.

for example, i've been playing RFB without incident. 6 missions...no problems.
started a mission, played a while, saved before going to bed. woke up, reloaded the last save, no go. tried twice more. nope. reloaded the game at base and then reloaded the game i wanted, but no go. rebooted and then restarted the game and reloaded the last save, no go. i had to go back to the base-save to get it to go. why? NFI.

doing things like enabling LAA and not making config changes while on a mission eliminate the lion's share of CTD issues but not all.

it is kind of like driving your vehicle on the road. you keep your vehicle in good repair, with plenty of fuel. you wear seat belts and drive defensively and that will eliminate 99% of the risk of a collision. can you still be involved in a collision? you bet.
