You wouldn’t want to put the Hope Diamond in a consumer grade gun safe, but most break-ins aren’t perpetrated by Oceans Eleven. The perps get in, take what they can grab, and leave. A gun safe works for that. It’s just there to slow them down.
I know of situations where safes that have been bolted to the floor were still ripped out of the house. The best idea is to buy a cheap safe that can be removed. Add an old car battery or two for weight. Hide your firearms someplace within the structure of the building.

Plus, a decent safe can protect your little “honies” for a couple hours should a fire break out. That’s important to me.

Exactly. Your normal meth head burglar is not going to spend the time to cut open a safe. My neighbors were broken into; the burglars were in and out in 1.5 minutes. They took a laptop and pulled the tv off the wall. If they had been there any longer that would have been caught.
