Silent running is not fail safe. It is simply a precaution. In other words on a scale of 0 to 10 it would probably be around 3 depending on weather conditions etc. It can never be a "0"
What I would do if lying in wait in front of a convoy is go as deep as possible until all lead destroyers have passed overhead. Then, and only then would I come up to periscope depth.
With this approach you can have your boat lie horizontally to the convoy as at depth you are unlikely to be picked up. Or if you really want to play safe and give as little footprint as possible, then bring your boat around as you come up. The big advantage to this manoeuvre is that when you do get to periscope depth all tubes, fore and aft can come into immediate play as you more than likely will be right amongst your targets.
Hope this helps.
