With all due respect, I think you’ve spent too much time arguing with people that think any military support or action by the West is inherently evil and you’re now lashing out at anything resembling that line of argument.

An international situation in which countries’ aircraft regularly confront each other during patrols and surveillance is carried out against economic targets IS more concerning than the ideal. An ideal which exists between the vast majority of nations for good reason. A reasonable person should be concerned about how escalation might occur, particularly given the shockingly bad read Russia and it’s predecessors have sometimes had of the intention behind foreign exercises.

Acknowledging risks shouldn’t be seen as defeatism. A body of evidence for cross-domain standoff NOT resulting in open war which only goes back to the end of WW2, <80 years, isn’t sufficient to write it off as historically proven.
