Actually, everyone understands that the biggest pitfall in staking/sharing security is not the technology, but "compound returns." As the returns stack up, people start treating risk as if it's air. Recently, I've been watching the mempool like radar; gas prices fluctuate wildly, and the same batch of transactions gets repeatedly sandwiched. The so-called "extra rewards" often end up working for more complex liquidation chains... Retail investors complain about validator/miner income, MEV, and unfair ordering, which isn't without reason. Basically, whoever gets to order the transactions gets to eat first. Anyway, my current approach is very simple: if it can be split, split it; don't treat the same collateral as three different uses. When I see the yield curve too smooth, I tend to step back first. That's how I do it for now.
