Connecting EOS board to the internet

I've heard a variety of anecdotes around here, but never really an official sentiment - is it safe to connect EOS boards to the internet? As far as I can tell, it really shouldn't have an effect on anything, since the board shouldn't be trying to connect to the internet to begin with, but I'm not sure if this is actually the case. Also, I'm purely asking about giving the board internet access - I understand the importance of (properly configured) firewalls and flow control and whatnot on networks, and we should be able to handle setting all that up correctly.

    This is from the section about Entertainment Control Networks in the Eos manual:

    ETC does not recommend connecting entertainment control networks to the Internet.

    • Devices accessing the Internet can consume significant bandwidth, which can introduce control latency.
    • The network becomes open to security risks from bad actors.
    • Viruses can pose a danger to network hardware and software, even the embedded operating systems used in most Eos devices.
