"How Safe Is Hydrogen?
Mirai’s hydrogen fuel tanks have been rigorously tested and proven to meet
Global Technical Regulation No. 13. * If the hydrogen sensors detect a
leak or a collision, the hydrogen tank valves will automatically close to
prevent more hydrogen from escaping while any hydrogen that is leaked will
safely return to the atmosphere."

That doesn't address the integrity of the composite fuel tanks.

That's a definite tl;dr document but as far as I got it seemed to
recommend controlled leakage before the tanks burst and tried to determine
the number of cycles before problems occur. However one paragraph was a
disclaimer saying they don't have enough real world data to be sure.

Very interesting! So safety then depends on excellent supply chain management and quality control, coupled with perhaps changing the containers early to avoid any possibility of leakage.
But every new system has its bugs and quirks. Just look at the car battery fires that have happened.
