From what I know about BSL, nothing changes for me, except some notion what "true open source spirit" is and what not.

Everything changes.

At any moment for any reason they can declare that you your use or your business in some way competes with them and cut you off.

You have no recourse. They don't need to explain it. They can even add a product remotely like what you're building or misunderstand your product and you are screwed.

The BSL carries with it immense legal risk.

Depends on the conditions of the BSL and whether your legal department is OK with them.
