There's actually a greater chance of an Engine failure at full thrust.. .Anyway your Vmca is higher with a full Thrust TO.. .The times that you use Flex, derated or assumed temperature Takeoffs do save the company money and in some circumstances like Low Gross weights: Actually keeps a greater spread between your V1 and your Vmca. Safety is always a matter of opinion.
