Safety concerns? No. None of these minors issues bothers me. As someone else upthread suggests, I might have a minor concern about swaps or delays on any new airframe.
One of these days, I'd love to fly the plane in J and be comfortable enough to actually enjoy the larger windows, newest IFE offerings, probably better food, etc.
I flew it in J (NRT-BOS), and it still wasn't all that comfortable (angled seats).
