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.

I do agree with you that violence happens everywhere. Sorry about the mid east reference maybe that was a bad analogy. And I do agree that it may take a couple times to be more comfortable. But most of the citizens down there are good people and would help you change a tire, a repair, etc. Many people have a negative connotation about mexico as a whole, and the reality, is the Cartels are the ones who give it the bad name. Obviously I have spent more time in the US then mexico, but I worry more about my vehicle getting broken into in the US than I do in baja.
