With passwords disabled and just using key authentication, is there a big risk of just doing a straight port 22 ssh?
Genuine question, my knowledge of server security is low-to-middle.

I've seen servers get hit with so many ssh login attempts that it runs out of resources to respond, effectively DOSing ssh at least. Moving it to a high port usually cuts out all the chatter.
a risk is server bugs.
