In principle a 386 PC should be able to run DOS jobs in a
virtual 8086 and any crashes should not affect the other jobs.
In practice I do not know if DV does this. I think DV still
runs in real mode even on a 386. However, OS/2 R 2 is supposed
to use the virtual 8086 mode.
On a 286, of course, you have to cross your fingers.

A PC without DESQview is like Unix without ^Z.
