Devs should provide an option to make lose all an opt-in until the core mechanic it is fixed.
Trivial to do and then that is handled.

While bugs are normal in early access, having a core mechanic broken is not okay, thats an alpha thing you fix before even considering going early access.

And sure there can be rare scenarios that are impossible to find out before a lot of people play, but this is an issue that has plagued the game for some time now, so it is stretching things a bit at this stage.

First, this bug is not a core mechanic. It is a failure to save data that occurs under unknown circumstances. It does not make the game unplayable if you do what you should do with all of your game data anyway and back up regularly.

Why should the devs drop everything to solve a difficult bug that can't cause real problems if you to take the same precautions for Valheim that you should take for every game?

They shouldn't. This topic is silly.
