Would be glad to hear if anyone has booked some of these flights, and what happened when the connection was missed.

I don't know what you're referring to by "zero" responsibility. They will get you to your final destination with no additional payment from you, and if the reason for the misconnect was mechanical, crew, or other thing within their control (basically not weather) they will also give you a hotel room and food vouchers, if necessary.
