> Things like "not sure" and "I think" and "even if I'm wrong" suggests that it is not very clear what is covered and what isn't.

No - it suggests that I'm not a lawyer. I would use those phrases for any license.

Let me put it concretely. Had I read the AGPL, I would have concluded that there is no problem in this use case - just as I would with the GPL or any permissive license. It's only because others disagree, for reasons that seem faulty to me, that I hesitate. Frankly, for me, this is a good example of (unintentional) FUD.

I thought the issue was GPL vs AGPL. If you're avoiding GPL, then it makes it more understandable. In any case, I use it for personal reasons. Were I considering it for our work, we would consult with our lawyers (have done so in the past) - regardless of the license. My work does not involve the web, so I don't have the concern of having to learn two different tools.
