This is a slippery slope that leads to infinitely long runways.
Any length of runway you agree on can still fail. As you just said, it's an eventual certainty.
Rather than fixating on what didn't cause the crash how about we spend that energy on finding out why this flight unlike 99.99% of flights couldn't stop in the allotted space.
If they were gonna land halfway down the runway why didn't they just do another go-around? Did the thrust reversers not work? Doesn't the 737-800 have a backup way of dropping the landing gear?
