> It simply wreaks of being a swiss cheese of security vulnerabilities once you start adding plugins The security industry in WP space is bigger than most open source spaces, comparable with Linux.

But if you use plugins with a few thousand installs and more or use plugins that are from maintainers who have other plugins with such large amount of installs, you should be safe.
