I think most of us would agree that the greatest threat from small drones is to small single engine puddle-jumpers?
The greatest threat from small drones would be to helicopter operations. News helicopters, Air Ambulance, police & fire helicopters, private and passenger ops, etc.

Helicopters fly at low altitudes away from airports or established air routes. A drone hit to the main or anti-torque rotors could end in disaster.
