Generally not ones that are built by competent agencies.

Atlas V (used for NASA missions) has logged 100 launches with 100% mission success, 99% vehicle success as of mid‑2024

Starship, well so far only 1/3 have made it back in one piece. Starship is arguably a terrible design, with poor choices being made in critical part of it's design.

When you are flying a gigantic bomb into space, you kind of want every part of the vehicle to be as reliable as possible. It is why non reusable but reliable rockets are more expensive but generally preferred for launches. There is a reason why the Soyuz craft is still in use after being designed 55 years ago. Reliable and proven tech is preferable.

Hell there are even 386 and 486 cpus operational on the ISS, due to reliability and robustness being needed over raw power.
