The only potentially dangerous step I see is:

> Apport would be configured to automatically send anonymous crash reports without user interruption.

I'm unfamiliar with apport, but crash reports may contain partial memory dumps with information you don't want collected.

Also,

Barring those two this is the kind of checkbox presented on install I'd definitely encourage people to leave checked.
