To mee, this sounds like story from the past. Modern JVM’s speed is often close enough to native code (
eg. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Java#Performance).

The security concerns date back to the time when Java applets were used in web applications and one would (unintentionally) execute foreign insecure code. With desktop apps this is not the case.

They are as safe/unsafe as code from any source.
