I'm just more concerned about the fire hazard and me not being present than anything.. Not the use of propane.
If my RV were fated to catch fire, I would much rather be far away than staying in it at the time. I'd think the chances of my being able to save it would be rather low, and the chances of me being seriously injured or killed higher than I would like.
While fridges may be one of the more common sources of RV fires, it doesn't follow that an RV fridge is a fire hazard, or that they're generally disasters waiting to happen. The vast majority of RVs never catch fire from any cause, thankfully. Still, it only makes sense to do some basic due diligence in preventing fires, such as making sure the fridge chimney (and other gas appliances) are clean and free of debris.
