If you have any question on truth worthiness, you can flash stock openwrt on them. You just lose out on their proprietary webUI and pre installed plugins. I believe their firmware is public on GitHub though.
but in your opinion Do you think their proprietary UI could be a risk for privacy /security ?
The biggest issue most people have with it is the dynamic DNS feature, which is automatically enabled and contacts their server to create the record. If you turn this off before connecting the router to the internet, you're probably good.
The simplified DoH client also only allows either Cloudflare or NextDNS, which aren't the most privacy-oriented options. Still, it's possible to set up your own.
Otherwise I've never heard of anything major; the devices are cheap and reliable. I've had one running constantly for years and only had to reboot it manually once.
