Once the expansion of the universe has accelerated enough we should be safe from this, right? My thinking is that if some galaxy starts collapsing as you described, but all surrounding galaxies are moving away at FTL speeds, it would never reach them.

That would reduce the chances, but this could happen to literally any particle. Kind of hard to avoid it when it's in one of your spleen molecules.
