Many times I have split a line expecting that some bracketing syntax
will cause the statement to continue across the split. I've been wrong,
and the code either gave a SyntaxError or, worse, did something
functional but unintended.

That is a problem only because end-of-line (outside some bracketing
syntax) ends a statement.

My point is that I consider that problem to be at least on par in the
severity of the problems caused by indentation-as-block-syntax. That is,
very small compared with the great benefit of the clean and readable
syntax that results.
