Yes, use it. But don't destroy data in it that the app didn't create ! rm -rf ? Really ? That is a lot strong handed.
Yes, you have a point. It's a much better argument, than "it could,
because it did". I still think the prudent (and simple) thing is to
create a subdirectory and wipe that. Or at least put a scary warning
in the documentation.
Why didn't dnf create its own sub dir within the given directory and then just wipe that ? Absolutely no chance of destroying user data if you do that.
