It still can panic/abort and deadlock/wait infinitely long on most fp languages because that's typically implied. And there isn't actually a way around that because computation almost always can fail or block indefinitely - and if you have a total language you can implement waits for billions of years, which for all practical purposes is "infinitely" long on human time scales.
