Or is it rare enough that we shouldn't be worried about unless we're in the pool or in the sea on a regular basis?

It's not going to happen. It requires high concentrations of chemicals (including boiling in chlorides) to cause any damage to 904L.
Example case: It can be boiled in 26% sodium chloride solution for 1000 hours without stress corrosion cracking.
It's of no concern at all.
