Just realized at a shop in Austin that quick releases on disc brake bikes are a bad idea

Saw a guy at an Austin shop bring in a wheel that folded mid-ride because the quick release came loose under braking force... do you trust quick releases on disc brakes or have you switched to thru-axles exclusively? Has anyone else had a wheel come out on them like that?

Thru-axles are safer but quick releases work fine if you tighten them properly...

Switched to thru-axles after my front wheel shifted mid stop, total game changer lol.
