The real issue you will see if you use “heaters”. These are known cell types typically red Sanyo’s that over time when fully charged start to self discharge which generates heat. Mitigate that issue and they are really stable. I have even direct shorted a 80p pack by accident and all it did was blow the fuses. Anytime you are building this stuff yourself you need to keep an eye on it either with some software that tracks each cell (generally a cell means one parallel set of cells) for voltage and current usage. Also if your bms can record how much any cell balances can show issues before they become a hazard.
