There are a lot people that are killed in Mexico due to drug issues. Heck the gangs in LA kill people. So violence is not exclusive to Middle East. It can happen anywhere.
In my case it was the lack of language that I was most concerned about.
You are in a different country. The rules maybe different. The road side service can be at best far from where may need it, if there are any.
I was in the same "kayak" as you are, until I carpooled with Bob on my first trip.
For the second trip, I drove, but again in caravan with Bob leading the way.
I now feel more comfortable, but I still would not do it alone.

He had to be "that guy". There's always the tool who puts their 2 cents in.
And yes. Very valid points. I use to travel to Mexico several times out of the year before the cartel madness. Yes, it's slowed down, but I still haven't been there (on land) in 8 years.
Traveling with someone is the ONLY way to have some peace of mind when traveling into a different country. Oo, not to mention the 700+ miles trek to and from Gonzaga.
