It has nothing to do with the camera model nor Brand...  The camera could
"die" from:  factory fault, theft, droppage, forgetfulness ( leaving it in a
Taxi), etc.
It is prudent to take a backup camera on any trip, especially one that might
be or is a once in a lifetime. Film or DIgital.

And as far as pros go, if you do not carry a backup, personally, I would
never hire you to do a job......you take too many chances.

I took my M8 to Europe for 3 months with no backup, worked perfectly.
(Actually the wife also brought her D200)  ;-)  3 years now and zero
problems.

Secondarily... If your M8 Dies, what will you do to take pictures?  By
taking your film camera, you have a backup.... and you COULD buy more film
of some type in an emergency,,,,,,,
