Dangers of fermenting in a corny keg?

I’ve started fermenting in a corny keg recently with a spunding valve, seemingly to good results (I love the fact that it’s a cheap multi-purpose stainless steel vessel), but I’ve heard it can be discouraged as if the spunding valve outlet gets clogged, it can lead to some “dangerous situations”. The recent post about a brewery staff member dying from an exploding keg means that the danger is a real one, even with commercial experience and controls.

Are there any extra preventative measures I can take, beyond using a spunding valve and PRV valve as backup in the keg lid, to ensure that I do this safely?
