When you buy a ticket and get a boarding pass, it typically comes in more than one form. When I fly, I get an email copy as well as the apps copy which I can then add to my Apple wallet. Accessing it at that point does not require an Internet connection.
I just described how I have two extra back ups, and yet, it has never happened to me any more than a decade I’ve been using these passes.
Worst case scenario? The gate agent prints me another one after they look me up in their computer. I know this, because I’ve seen people lose their paper boarding passes, and they had no back up at all. It took them five minutes to get another one.
I choose not to live in fear of a problem that doesn’t exist.
As I’ve repeatedly mentioned, I am prepared, with redundancies. And since I’ve never needed them, suddenly living in fear that I should just because you say so would be irrational.
What you’re describing is paranoia. Again, something I avoid.

What happens if somehow your phone gets broken? I always get a paper pass printed out just in case.
What happens if you lose the piece of paper?
You can get a new boarding pass at the gate or before check-in so it’s not like you’ll be stranded at the airport.
I’m just saying it’s always good to have a backup, and it doesn’t cost you a thing. You never know what’s gonna happen, so redundancy is a good thing.
In 30 years of owning various cell phones and smart phones, I’ve never once broken a single one of them.
It’s not something I worry about.
Even still, I also have my iPad that I carry when I travel. I could always use that as well. Or my Apple Watch, which is what I most commonly use.
I’m happy for you, but all it takes is one time. No reason not to have an extra backup.

You can see it as living in fear, if that’s what helps you, I just see it as being as prepared as I can.
