Ciao Spectre.

There is no difference between calling and jumping into a function (as long it's used for a software reset).

The reason is obvious: that function will never return!

If the sw reset fail, there is the watchdog ditch...

Insert an infinite loop at the end of your function and wait watchdog reset.

Thanks to the safety devices in STM8, this isn't either the last ditch.

You can also insert an illegal opcode to force a sw reset.
