A simple rover may have difficulties to resume a situation like in fig.1, and may REMAIN on the lunar crater border, while, a Centaur-based moonrover, can simply rise two of its wheels, fig.2, and turn back to continue moon exploration.

One can always imagine obstacles that any one particular rover design might not be able to handle. The easiest, most cost effective solution: Know the capabilities of you vehicle and don't attempt obstacles you can't handle. Drive around it.
Given the success of the two Mars rovers, I'd say this is a non-problem.

Anything worth doing for 2 hours is 10 times more worthwhile if done for 20 hours.
