Thank you, we hope it does help a lot of people.

We use privy, one of the best-in-class wallet providers that basically creates a self-custody wallet, but uses email/phone/social auth (and encrypts/shards the actual keys). So you wouldn't be at risk of losing them like you would with a vanilla wallet (you can of course export the keys if you're more crypto-savvy)

We're doing a pretty slow and steady rollout to catch where users are running into issues, but it's a pretty controlled environment re: messing up. You could accidentally send money to the wrong address if you wanted to transfer to another wallet, but that's not a core functionality (located on a side page) and certainly not one that the average person is using. Outside of that, there isn't really anything else you could severely mess up.
