There is no safety issue as these lines are more robust then the OE rubber ones.
As long as they are installed properly.

The best proof of their actual functionality is Professional and Amatuer racing series.
All of them change the rubber lines to stainless steel brake lines.

Thanks for chiming in. You pretty much said about everything I would have mentioned.

The greatest benefit is usually in pedal feel and modulation under heavy pressure like when on track or driving aggressively. They also hold up to heat much better than they typical rubber brake line.
