Not yet.

I really don't see any pros for caring about failing CSPRNG and fallback to
weak behavior.

1) BC is extremely unlikely. Basically, no BC on healthy hardware/OS.
2) Then things failed, programs should fail properly. i.e. Shouldn't
fallback to weaker/problematic code.

Broken CSPRNG is like BUS error, i.e. hardware error, why should we care so
much about it?
