AFA increased safety for the defense is concerned, it is a misconception. Infielders have always had the ability to stand as deep as they please regardless of the location of the bases or cut of the infield.
If anything, it makes it a little safer for the runners of 1B or 3B

An extra 5 feet won't be that big a deal.
