Hardware wallets are relatively new and uncommon, so not much is known about their security risks. That said, there are no glaring, obvious issues and you could use one if you want.

As always, do not take advice from strangers on the internet about storing your crypto without doing extensive research on your own. The Bitcoin wiki is a great starting point: https://en.bitcoin.it/ https://en.bitcoin.it/
