Whenever something seems to be moving towards a TPK, I make sure the players have some sort of reasonable escape. There may be one or two PC deaths, but nothing crazy. I think I ran OOTA with only 2 PC deaths for the whole campaign.

The other thing is that OOTA specifically gives you lots of NPCs at the start so they can take the brunt of the deaths.
