I wonder if it would be worth putting a "leash" on the pedal, perhaps a little bit of fishing line or a spring, to prevent the pedal from entirely departing the center of the clevis in the event of a failure?

Better solution would be checking the clevis, pin and cotter or spring pin on a regular basis. I usually fit a small washer between the cotter pin and the side of the clevis, to reduce the wear of the one against the other.
