Subject: [PATCH] text: Temporarily remove `assert_char_boundary` panics
 (#42919)

As discussed in the first responders meeting. We have collected a lot of
backtraces from these, but it's not quite clear yet what causes this.
Removing these should ideally make things a bit more stable even if we
may run into panics later one when the faulty anchor is used still.

Release Notes:
