It only takes once.Safety is always more important than any other factor.Along the lines of "never had a problem",I've never had a problem with a lot of radiators but I have had failures also.The first time you get hot water spewing over you let me know how it feels.Just because you've got away with it so far IMO is bad logic.There will never be a radiator in that position on anything I build.Just because others do it (and get away with it)means nothing.IMOThe trouble is that on these smaller cars your options are limited on where to put it.High and in good airflow or tucked in low and the need to duct air to it.Pick your poison.
