Something that might happen once in ten years isn't worth the additional security surface exposure. IMO

I have a small child. It's not just mechanical failure. Then again, I've got a separate network for IoT things. They can't see anything by each other and their controller. Unfortunately, most of the IoT appliances do NOT like this setup.

What security exposure? Any modern router has a way to isolate iot devices. I'm risking people knowing when I open my fridge?

Most people wouldn't bother.

And the risk would be more a foothold into your network as a staging point to attack other devices, as I'm sure you know .
