I think the Airbus family of aircraft have a number of devices to remind the pilots about take off config.
I am sure you were thinking about the MD-80 out of Madrid where an electrical circuit had been disabled and that turned off the flap config warning.
It didnt end well that day so, as you are a regular traveller who expects certain things to happen in a certain order I can understand your concern.
