Hi,

What do you think about the safety of these settings? Is there a risk for the camera?

The worst that could happen is that the camera locks up and you have to remove the battery to return it to normal. I've never heard of anyone bricking the camera with the hack.
 
It is safe, but remember that having a GOP greater than 1 is the whole design ethos of the AVCHD codec. Having a GOP (Group of pictures) set to 1, means that you'r'e not compressing any frames, so you might as well shoot MJPEG, which compresses colour instead. Sure, not compressing sounds ideal, but without it, the camera will not cope, and will crash a lot.
