Plus, inhaling graphite dust since it doesn't fall doesn't sound fun.

Plus, graphite dust and electronics are also not a great combination.

It’s carbon dust, which your body is pretty good at dealing with, and in quantities so trivial you probably already inhale more currently than you would using a pencil in an otherwise mostly sterile spaceship (at least sterile compared to earth)

Have you broken a pencil tip? I wouldn't want to breath that in after it goes flying.
