Very interesting! We’ve had to deal with this problem at times, especially in our command enrichment in Commanded.
In fact, we use the unsafe method because it’s mostly internal and we use Vex to validate the passed parameters.
But inside the boundary, it makes perfect sense!

Oh nice, I didn’t know about Vex. Glad you mentioned it!
