If automobiles were invented, would you use them instead of horses?
Cars don't rip you apart molecularly, unless you get into a crash. A teleporter will rip you apart every time. This isn't a discussion of the "safety" of teleporters, it's a discussion of what consciousness is.
In the perfect utopia that is Star Trek and everyone uses them without worrying about it then I'm definitely going to say it's fine.
