You don't have to do initial login in graphical mode and second is if graphical mode develops a problem you can still login in console and get a chance to fix the problem. Graphical user login if a problem develops, it's time to reinstall the system if the problem prevents login.
Actually, you can reboot the system into rescue mode in that situation and obtain a root shell prompt.
I had to do this recently due to an error on my part that prevented all login attempts (whether graphical, on the console, or via ssh).
I also found out that there is an option to run a debug shell on a virtual console, which is started during the boot process. To do this, run "systemctl start debug-shell", and remember to remove it when it's no longer needed, for security reasons.
I've been using Linux since the late 1990s, and as far as I can recall, I've never had to reinstall a system. I came close to that point once, but I decided that I wanted to change distributions anyway.
