I'm guessing if the ISS was no longer able to sustain life support, Starliner would be used. Guaranteed loss of life by staying on ISS or having an unknown <100% chance of surviving using Starliner, of course it will be chanced.
I'm not really sure what point your question is attempting to get at
I'm sure the astronauts would much prefer to have a Dragon available, but I don't think NASA's "cleared for human flight" means much. After all, 4% (14/355) of all the astronauts that flew on the space shuttle died when their vehicles exploded.
ISS is huge, and is very unlikely to fail all at once. In a case of a catastrophic failure, they could stay in a less affected part of the station. All life-critical systems on spacecraft are duplicated and triplicated. With the current SpaceX launch capabilities, a rescue Crew Dragon could arrive within days if not hours.
