I guess it's possible to have the 50 amp breaker fail, but the upgrade to the 80 amp breaker is really only for the hydraulic system, due to the high current draw by the electric motor that drives the hydraulic pump. The wiring on most of the systems for the hydraulics use #4 strand copper cable which will handle the high current. I'm not sure what is used on the electric systems, but pretty sure not heavy enough for a larger breaker.
