Looks fine to me. Understand the hazards and minimise the risks.
I made a router table out of a plunge router and a workmate when I was first getting in to woodworking, that was scary and in hindsight not my brightest moment.
I agree 1000% risk mitigation is the name of the game. That router table sounds terrifying but I'm glad you've still got all your fingers. Routers are spinning balls of death and I distrust them even on the soundest of setups.
That's a healthy distrust.
I recently watched the bearing of a flushtrim router bit disassemble while routing 2" acrylic and I puckered so hard I could taste what color underpants I was wearing.
