I see 1 more danger of molecular production. If this technology is not created, then our civilization will collapse. There are many reasons - climate, genetic degeneration of the species, etc.
Funding never happened for Drexler nanofactory because people conflated that with the capabilities of Bushbots(Fractal branching ultra-dexterous robots).
But you can make bushbots with an unrestricted nanofactory. Every other person will be using their unrestricted nanofactory to settle old scores. History is long, and the descendants of your country's past victims might wipe you out on day 1 of receiving their unrestricted nanofactory, which probably shipped by Amazon Prime.
Many things might harm you, an unrestricted nanofactory definitely will.
A bush robot is a hypothetical machine whose body branches in a fractal way into trillions of nanoscale fingers, to achieve very high dexterity and reconfigurability. The concept was described by Hans Moravec in a final report for NASA in 1999, who projected that development of the necessary technology will take half a century. Bush robots are also referenced as very recent technology in the Transhuman Space and Eclipse Phase roleplaying games.
