Tidal force can be a blessing instead. Some says that plate tectonics plays a vital role in making Earth a habitable planet. It requires continuous source of heat from inside, which is supplied by radioactive elements[1] on Earth, but in a gas giant moon, tidal force could play the same role. [1]: (Off-topic) The fact that our whole planet's life basically survived thanks to the gigantic amount of radioactivity buried inside, hot enough to keep the whole planet's core molten for 4.6 billion years, gives me endless amusement whenever I see someone ranting about how radioactivity has no place in nature and is a deadly scourge we're inflicting on Earth.
