You are bloating your channel.db, letting other people rebalance through your node for free. One day you will have a power failure or an SSD crapping out that will corrupt this database, so you will have to SCB. The longer you run your node the higher the chance of this happening.

Well, you are right that static channels backup are a major priority for me right now...

SCB will force close all the channels and will take a long time for your 2y old node to scan for on-chain funds. After recovery (of funds, not the channels!), you will be better off to start a fresh node with a new seed/birthday. Backups are trivial to automate, but don't count on them to save your node. Until LND natively supports postgres instead of bolt database, and you configure live replication to another disk, it is risky to route frequent payments.
