You open up to centering issues, clamping force issues, risk of low quality (not held to OE tolerances on surface smoothness/flatness), stress changes to hub area, not enough threads to secure wheel, failing wheel bearings...
But who cares, hellaflush is important yo!
Properly torqued they are not going to kill you, but the OP said himself he hasn't even used a torque wrench.

As long as the wheel, hub, and spacer are stiff enough to prevent flexing and loss of clamp force, the cause of most wheel stud failures is under tightened lug nuts (not enough clamping force) or over tightened lug nuts (the stud has been stretched past it's elastic limit, so the clamping force goes away).

(3-10mm is still meh but whatever - you can't defend 25+mm spacers, plus he'll probably be tempted to put another spacer on the spacer!)
