For example, if there's a security flaw in your router and it gets compromised and set up to forward all ports to your computer - or if you do it yourself to play a game and forget to switch it back - you're unprotected.

Yeah, that is something to considers. As I also mentioned in my advise to make sure PAT is off. But, like you said - anything can happen.
