I use Windows CyberLink Power2Go version 11 software specifically for M-Discs.
I do care much about my backups, and while the humidity here is high relatively speaking, I must use M-Discs.
But to your case, I found evidence of an advanced feature called:
Defect Management in my Power2Go 11
This naming, however, can differ greatly program from another program.
I don't know if any Linux product is able to do the same damage protection or how to call it generically.
This Dell page notes some more info on this checkbox:
Select Enable defect management to have CyberLink Power2Go try to fix any defects on a disc so that content burns correctly.
I also made a screenshot for you of this aspect of BluRay burning, seemingly generic, I assume not only applicable to M-Discs:

I hope this info helps a bit. Cheers.
