While that might cause a crisis, it’s in the best interest of the state, central banks, the capitalist class who are the most influential to preserve the capitalist system and do everything in their power to do so. They’re not going to sit idly by - there will be restructuring responding to the crisis, maybe even austerity and bailouts like in 2008 (which, mind you, didn’t end capitalism) - things might get tough, there might be a shock but it by no means would magically bring something like socialism.
Capitalism is a system that’s entirely about social relations: who sells their labor, who owns production and how do these production owners use their accumulated value - this is what has to collapse for capitalism to be destroyed. Financial instruments like insurance exist within this framework, they’re not capitalism itself, they can develop and change and they do so regularly in response to crises.
