If an amazingly incompetent or victory greedy skipper is at the helm, yes, they can flip.
What about monohulls? Can't they flip? Loose keels? Sink?
Just out of curiosity, I've often sailed my tiny Nugget24 with full sail under conditions where similar sized monohulls where flying 2nd reefs, heeling at 30+º and and dragging their tails at 5 knots...
Anyway, It's pretty obvious what my recomendation will be:
If you wan't to go slow, heeled, confined to a cramped cockpit and an uncomfortable cabin sole, and on a boat that depends on a counterweight (that can fail) to keep itself upright, go for a monohull...
Morring issues and the works are nothing but excuses from people looking for a justification not to have a multihull... I sure can't keep mine in a marina, well, I keep it in a swinging mooring...
Cheers!
