Well UPS are specifically made for situations like these as well as similar things. The most basic function is giving you enough time to shut down your pc when there is a sudden power outrage. But also it keep the PC safe for Power fluctuations which you might not even notice. And It can save yr pc form bit power overload too by burning it's overload protection fuses depending on what type you have. Even in a worse case like massive lightning strike situation it would burn the UPS and save your PC. So that's 30 USD against 500-1000 computer. Take your pick.
About Lithium-ion batteries, I have yet to seen an UPS blowing up. I have used those cheap single cell UPS because start using those big expensive dual cell UPS with additional features. So these are not exactly blowing like balloons. Only important thing to remember is when you replace batteries make sure buy good quality stuff even its bit expensive. Not because those blow but because those don't last long.
Im here only talking about Computer. For things like fridge there are other solutions. For example there are overload protectors for refrigerators.
