Uh, no and no. And it wasn't my case, it was just to name one silly example. You can be focused on fighting some mobs here and there or you just were running without attention to the ground and suddenly fall in a trap for example. I'm pretty sure the game isn't about watching your step every second of your gameplay, that isn't enjoyable at all and that's also the reason the command "/back" was created.
1. Not every second of the gameplay, just the ones where you're in a dangerous situation, and you should probably think: "this is dangerous, I should watch my step", not run around without paying attention. I don't take the same attitude going through a cave compared to say, running through Valhalla. One is unexplored and potentially dangerous, the other is a mob-disabled town. In real life, you'd be more careful if you were overseas for the first time as compared to being in your home.

Other example: you were mining in an abandoned mineshaft and you fall into the oblivion because of some missing chunk again. This is pretty much the most common case of stupid deaths.
2. Not only is this stupid and avoidable by noticing there is a
large 16x16 gaping hole in your way, I also do not see how /back would help when your items have fallen into the void. Unless you meant "oblivion" as "a deep fall into another cave", in which case, I still think a hole in the ground is pretty damn obvious and you should look out for those while explorong a dangerous area.
In conclusion: Stupid deaths are easily avoidable if you pay attention when you are in a situation where it's supposed to be dangerous. For bugged deaths like a Nether portal spawning above lava and not making a safe zone (happened to me once) or falling into the void, your items are already lost so /back wouldn't help.
EDIT: By the way, is it possible to name outposts so we can do stuff like /town outpost <name> instead of using a number? Numbers are kinda annoying because they also change when old outposts are removed.
If we can, can CURRENT outposts be renamed?
