No matter how you do it, opening another channel of app installation will always make a device „less secure“. It’s in the very nature. Users have to be more careful with sideloaded apps and the OS has to tighten security.
I‘m not worried though, mostly because of one thing: Even on Android I hardly know anybody who actually sideloaded apps. And I guess iOS will do more than its fair share of warning users not to do it.
I mostly look forward to it for Fortnite and some emulators.
You’re missing the actual problem, though. Right now the OS is written in such a way that it rejects running any apps not signed by Apple, always.
In the future it won’t.
