It doesn't sound scary to me. It just sounds like the fundamental nature of trying to do something truly new. It's just less predictable and there is no way around that.
The “Scary Stuff” warnings are important because anyone competent will ignore them and anyone not competent will be scared away. As they should be, because potential for abuse here is rife.
