Ignition protection in an electric water heater would be the thermostat. The thermostat would have to be designed to be ignition protected i.e. designed either to not produce a spark or to isolate any spark from potentially explosive vapors.
When thinking of things like ignition protection, I am not concerned with insurance (which would be in force regardless), but with the safety of myself and my family.
Not too long ago, a boat exploded and burned just after being launched at a local boat ramp. Fortunately, the people were able to get off without injury but it could have ended differently if they had been away from land.
