What are the risks of drag/drop and in which cases?

I understand that with Sigil 2.0.0 the drag/drop function in text editing has been disabled and that it can be re-enabled by a certain environment variable, although there are some risks in doing so.
This function is very useful for me, because I often edit the text (not just the css) to correct mistranslations or add my own footnotes that I edit on the fly, and it is often enough for me to change the order of the elements of a sentence (the Spanish language is very flexible in this).

In short, I have activated the environment variable SIGIL_ALLOW_CODEVIEW_DROP=1
but I would like to know more specifically what risks I am taking by doing so and in which cases. As I said, my movements are always of short fragments within the same sentence, and so far I haven't noticed anything happening to me.
