The more complex and long a RPG is the less that mechanic is welcome imo. Can't think of a recent game like that but haven't playd much survivals (only shooter ones). 
As long as you progress a fictional character that's a RPG... Which is the case, your character isn't even deleted on death. 
Anyway it's just the fact V Rising tries to casualize survival and the middle ground ends up a matter of preferences.
