....not doing aerobatics
Have to disagree with this one. Provided you are properly trained, are in a suitable aerobatic aeroplane, and at a safe height there is nothing remotely dangerous above other forms of flight about performing aerobatics.
Indeed I would go further and say that once you are happy at aeros you are a much safer VFR pilot. You will fly the aeroplane through feel and looking out, by angle of attack rather than speed, and you are most unlikely to be a stall / spin victim as you'll have been there so many times it is second nature and you'll recognise what the aeroplane is about to do even before it does it.
My own precision in flying and confidence in handling the aeroplane increased enormously once I became competant at aerobatting it.
