There's nothing wrong with ccTLDs as long as you pick the ccTLD of a country you trust.

Vanity ccTLDs (.ly, .af, .io) are almost always a terrible idea, but I don't see why I would trust a megacorp backed TLD like .coffee any more than I trust .dk or .fi. The same goes for de facto American ccTLDs like .com/.info/.net.

Yeah that's true. We just need to research who owns the TLD before long-term site and everything is ok.

.io is the British Indian ocean's territory, probably not really a risk i doubt anything's going to happen there.
