If dropping a database scares you, you are either unaware of the disaster recovery process, or there isn’t one. Edumacate yourself, or the org, as appropriate, so as to increase your confidence when dropping databases.
On a related note, a lot of companies establish recovery processes without actually testing them. Then the first time a recovery is needed they find out that it doesn’t work as expected.
And also not updating them when things change. The recovery process for a database changes considerably once it’s involved in replication, which one client found out the hard way.
