I've been using it for years now for pretty sensitive data and I've never had any problems, including a few times I had a volume mounted and the power went out.

As for user error, it's pretty much a mount-volume-and-forget-it kind of affair, but I don't use it for whole drive encryption, just containers.

I'm actually impressed with how simple and reliable it is, even though I could just use LUKS.  The benefit of Veracrypt is its volumes will mount on both Linux and Windows easily.
