Absolutely, yes it is.

Musk at least seems isolated from the day-to-day at
SpaceX, and there are competent engineers in charge
of the spacecraft.

It's not clear to me what your point is, though.

That only holds up if it turns out they weren't grossly
negligent.

I'm neither a structural nor mechanical engineer, so I
defer to those who are actual subject matter experts on
the safety of this thing.  But there's an increasingly
well-documented record of OceanGate repeatedly ignoring
safety concerns.
