Sure, the more the merrier

I'm a fan of knots because I think the extra customization options are neat and some of the default settings seem more sensible to me than the ones in bitcoin core

And I get hyped when more people become fans of things I like

Seeing adoption of knots grow therefore delights me, and if more miners start adopting it, that counts too

Yeah the features are nice and it shows an interest in those features in the network, which is great for signaling to the rest of the network.

On the other side I am not sure I would use it with a wallet enabled as there is only one person, or very few, with commit rights.

Also if 50 percent of the miners run it, terrifies me as it could easily result in a hard fork.

My expectation is that more usage also brings more contributors and more eyes on the code

If the number of contributors and eyes approaches the numbers bitcoin core has then I think the risks you mention approach zero

good point, makes nothing but sense
