I think few people are even qualified to form an opinion.

Your exactly right. The complexity of a composite machine that large, they literally wrote the FEA software to match what the physical tests told them. I doubt there are more than a couple of thousand people who can actually give an opinion of this in the US.

I don’t know about the larger assemblies, but I’ve read stories where the smaller GA aircraft are so much stronger than aluminum that small crashes that would have killed the pilot were walk-aways. The aluminum would have crushed and bent while the composites were far sturdier. I would think that would translate into safer fuselages for the big “iron”.

What does 'safe' mean? Certainly, based on statistics, driving a car or even taking a shower can be unsafe.

Well, yes...but the rest will express the loudest opinions. ;)
