Will the yaris leave you stranded?

Of course a high mileage car has greater risk of breaking down, but any car can "leave you stranded". That's why IMHO you need AAA... and an emergency cellphone when you're out and about.

It's pronounced "oot and a boot"

As others stated, If you want that piece of mind get aaa. Otherwise it is not a car prone to failures. If something like an alternator goes and happens to fail instantly it should be well under $500 to fix. You shouldn't have any major failures in this car.

Fwiw new cars aren't necessarily void of failures. Anyone aware of the Ford factory problem of "oops i forgot to put that hose clap on". New cars running out of coolant and if not shut off right away say hello to a warped block.
