Never read of a tank crash due to a return pump failing.
It will depend on a number of factors. Can the tank die if it loses heating/cooling ability? How much gas exchange do you have in the main dislay vs how many creatures using oxygen?

Cetianly wouldn't matter in a number of scenarios, but could be lethal in others.
