Also talked to my LLM, and I think the issue with rootstock "confirmations" is that they consist of merge-mined work which is produced by bitcoin miners at zero marginal cost. So there is little that bitcoin miners would lose if they attacked rootstock. And the preventive measures you mention seem to be about detection and halting the chain, but that would give attackers the ability to, well, halt the chain, at no marginal cost to them. And then there would have to be social recovery.

For inkan, the worst thing that could happen is not for RBTC to become unpegged from BTC. It's rather that rootstock gets reorganized, which could rewrite the delegation / revocation history, which would be catastrophic for inkan identities. The integrity of the history is precisely what inkan depends on.
