The plastic ones can crack, and have cracked. Those are obvious when they happen and in some cases will still allow the safety to function normally, sort of.
The wallowing out and wear of the detent recess on the bottom of the safety slider is less obvious without removal of the safety (which typically isn't done due to the safety screw) and usually shows as the shotgun going back on safe after every firing or some other problem.
Death hangs over thee: whilst yet thou livest, whilst thou mayest, be good.
