There is a reason for USB-C extensions not to be part of the standard. They can be bothersome in the best case and dangerous in the worst.

Yes, that is a risk. Don't forget about voltage drop, though! A short extension is generally quite a thin conductor, and the thinner the cable, the more resistance you get in the cable itself.
