Safety is subjective. A great deal will depend on what kind of system is being upgraded. If it's a remote server to which you have limited or no physical access, booting a kernel that may "just be unusable" (enough to prevent editing GRUB menus and rebooting) could be a disaster. I speak for no one but myself, but I'm gonna wait at least a week before upgrading past 6.1.0-13-amd64 on any of my systems.
