Boot your Pi from USB and there is no SD corruption to worry about. This has been out of beta and officially supported for over 2 years now. I've never had an issue with power adapter compatibility but understand some had issues when the RPi 4 was released due to it requiring more amperage than previous models. Not really a concern with modern USB C adapters and if you are really concerned just buy the official power supply or one of the multitudes sold on Amazon as for the RPi.
As for overheating, I have had a RPi 4 stuffed in a crowded wiring box with no air flow in my unconditioned garage running non-stop without overheating for a few years now. I live in a climate where it is over 90 degrees Fahrenheit every day June - early September with a good part of late July - late August being over 100. I also have a 4 node RPi cluster which has been running for years without any overheating issues. The cluster nodes do have 5v fans running at 3.3v to reduce noise. I installed these when originally setting up the cluster but would be confident removing them. At this point it just isn't worth the effort to do so.
