The right question, though, is, surely, does the software do what we
need, sufficiently reliably for our purpose.
And clearly the answer is yes for a great many applications of XML
technologies.

Having said that, I suspect the weak point of most XSLT-based applications is
that they haven't been tested on a wide enough variety of data inputs.
(Compare my anecdote of the operating system that crashed when presented with
an upside-down deck of punched cards.)
Producing a sufficient variety of data inputs as test cases is a significant
challenge, and most people don't bother.
