On the contrary - if you have a fairly standard setup with /tmp on the
root partition, you will benefit a lot from enabling softupdates on
it. As to the risks, nowadays I'd say the odds of the softupdates code
exhibiting a noticeable bug are about the same (or less) as those of a
physical drive failure. YMMV.
