There is always risk, because risk is unavoidable in nature. More importantly, in a decentralized network consensus cannot be achieved via apathy - so the real risk is that node runners make decisions based on social acceptance or opt out altogether, rather than thinking for themselves and doing what’s right for the future of Bitcoin.

Apathy is how the chain slowly dies and gets centralized. That’s the very reason that bitcoin has steered so far from Satoshi’s vision of p2p electronic cash during Core’s recent updates.
