I think that it's best to know about it, prevent it as much as you can, and be prepared/know what to do in case it happens. Prevention can include diet, brushing, and keeping the rabbit as stress-free as possible, as a lot of times we see GI upset upon stress happening. If you don't go to shows or the shelter a lot, the chances of your bunny catching a virus or a super-bacteria infection are pretty low, although getting gut parasites can occur from carrying the eggs on your feet, so those are almost impossible to prevent.
Most often, it comes down to knowing what to do if you see something happening, like a slow down, and getting it under control without going to a vet (if at all possible). If you can't get it under control yourself, you need to know what the vet should or shouldn't do. For instance, hydration should be the #1 treatment, followed by gut motility drugs. Often a vet will immediately prescribe motility drugs while the rabbit is too dehydrated. I also hear a lot of bad stories where a vet decided it was time to operate to remove a blockage--this is very risky and has a very low chance of success, so it should be the absolute last option. Knowing these kind of things can help your bunny get through a stasis event.
