Disable cellbroadcastreceiver.module (programming.dev)

Hi everyone. I have a Samsung S20 FE running LineageOS 23 (Android 16). I’d like to disable the Wireless Emergency Alerts service. The plan is to run:

adb shell
pm disable com.android.cellbroadcastreceiver.module

Questions:

Is it safe to disable this module this way?

Will the phone go into a bootloop after the next reboot?

Does anyone have verified information or real experience with this on the S20 FE / LineageOS 23 (a-16)?

Just disabled that through Canta with Shizuku rather than adb on a Samsung Note 20 and rebooted. Should be fine to disable.
