Yeah, you could primary ferment in an open container and the risk would be very small.

Yeah, open tub fermatation is safe. The yeast out competes everything else in the tub, not really giving any other microbes any chance to form a colony.

I think the risk is low as long as you are doing a relatively quick ferment. I wouldn’t let it sit in secondary for months or anything.
