It's easy to liquefy, so it has a density advantage over air, and would be bad if released but not super bad.

Suffocation seems like the most relevant concern in the event of a catastrophic leak.
It is a necessary risk. Oxygen is dangerous when heat is involved, and its low critical point is harder to work with than co2.
