Personally, I agree with you - I've done the journey several times.
What's the best way to book RJ service - bahn.de shows only two classes (first and second) and the first class fare is 69EU (saver) with RJ. I assume this isn't the premium first class? What's a better website for comparing the first class and premium first class services?
You can get useful information about Railjet and the different classes
here.
From 6 April there are two trains a day from Munich to Budapest - at 09:27 and 13:26. DB site is probably your best bet.
My main paranoia with train travel is with the luggage - even though I've never suffered luggage theft, it just takes that one time to really ruin it. Otherwise I love riding the trains, they're quite lovely.
You should have no worries about this - you can keep your luggage by your seat.
