An interesting read, no doubt, but I still disagree with

Is this something we actually have to worry about?

Maybe.

The "threat" here would entail no negative emotions, no human (or other) suffering, just... nothing. Plus, it sounds like if the universe were indeed unstable/meta-stable, there's nothing we could change about it anyway. So of all the things I can worry about, I feel this deserves the least amount of worry.
