I don't expect any issues, but also don't want to burn down the house. If I had been using one for 1-2 years, I would be more comfortable.

No there shouldn't be any concerns because the charge isn't always charging, it stops when the battery is topped off. So the risk if a battery exploding due to over charging is minimal to zero.
When I use my ctek I always use a surge protector too, this prevents power surges (if they ever were to occur) from causing issues. So if you're going to leave your ctek unattended then get a surge protector as well.
For me I always leave my ctek unattended and plugged in for 6 months at a time when my m2 is in winter storage. Zero issues thus far, and I come out once every couple of weeks to scan for codes, rotate the tires, and check the battery level.
