If there’s a version of high density that also allows for Single Family Housing for those who want it, id be cool with that

It's called decent quality. All the problems you mentioned fall back on every corner being cut in our profit-driven societies. Just because you're in an apartment doesn't mean that ANY of that should ever happen. We somehow have giant buildings housing dozens or, rarely, hundreds of companies, and they have protective measures in place for fires and water damage.
