I wonder how many of those CFIT accidents where the aircraft was
inexplicably off the FAC are actually a result of this.

I also don't think it's such a big deal anymore, because nobody I know
flies IFR without GPS, be it IFR certified or not.

I do. There's no GPS in most of the IFR planes I rent (but they do have VFR
LORAN).
