Like all things there are risks and some things have greater risk than others but are still low enough that they are not worrisome enough.

There is a lot of misinformation around SIDs and its relationship with co-sleeping. Co-sleeping is riskier than the baby sleeping in its own bed but generally not measurably so. Where a lot of co-sleeping deaths happen is when the caretaker falls sleep in a chair or a couch holding the baby and baby falls or gets into a bad breathing position. The number of deaths from smothering do exist but pale in comparison.

Of course every baby/person is different and you have to find what works for you as a parent.
