For what it's worth, after about a year of commuting fixed with a v-brake (old XT parallelogram one, fwiw) I upgraded to a mechanical disc (TRP Spyre). I am convinced it has saved my life, or at least avoided serious crashes, at least three times within 6 months. All three times in the wet. n=1 and all that, but well worth it.

Thanks, makes sense, most likely getting my wires crossed. What are your thoughts on the disc front with fixed for an all year round commuter? I generally really like the balance of leg power with a front caliper but once the rain really kicks in i'm mostly using my legs to slow/stop.
