Sounds bad, but not deadly. From the 2nd link, when the system goes into failure mode:
... the driver has braking power sufficient to stop the vehicle, although greater brake pedal pressure is required, and the brake pedal travel will be longer. I would guess (hope?) that a completely "by-wire" brake system that didn't have a direct hydraulic failover mode would not meet with DOT approval. These are cars, not fighter jets.
