Is my new Pixel XL brickproof?

[GbizzleMcGrizzle]

So for the last year and a half ever since my Galaxy S7 was stolen on the train I've been using an iPhone. Well that stopped working and I just bought a Pixel XL. So it's been a while.
Anyway the one nice thing about the Galaxy S7 was that it was virtually brickproof. No matter how bad you ****ed up flashing the wrong image or whatever you could always just fish the stock ROM and be ok.
Is the Google pixel the same? Or should I be extra careful when rooting and installing ROMs ?
Thanks

I don't know how reliable it is, but I've been able to un-fudge everything I've done to the pixel XL so far

You might look through the questions and answers section over the last week before deciding on a purchase. There are quite a few of us suffering from bootloops due to, apparently, hardware issues..

Well I ended up buying one but turned out to be retail and thus a Verizon version. Which wouldn't even matter if I could get the damn thing to connect to fastboot
