I'd really be inclined to push for removing it entirely - keeping the error
(even as a byte rather than a word) in the counters sub-struct would be a
25% increase in size for this sub-struct (it'd have 3 words for the Counts
vector, one word for the unique_ptr to the value profiling stats, then
adding even another byte would add a 5th word (due to padding/rounding up)).

I agree that error handling is really important - but like the original
implementation you posted, I think error handling at the point of failure
is generally a better idea (rather than having to keep track of whether
this InstrProfRecord has been queried for its failures or not, etc - you
call the function that can fail, you handle the failure).
