Hm, I expect the advantage of far UV is that many places where people want to spend time indoors are not already well-ventilated, or that it’d be much more expensive to modify existing hvac setups vs just sticking a lamp on a wall.
I’m not at all familiar with the literature on safety; my understanding (based on this) is that no, we’re not sure and more studies would be great, but there’s a vicious cycle/chicken-and-egg problem where the lamps are expensive, so studies are expensive, so there aren’t enough studies, so nobody buys lamps, so lamp companies don’t stay in business, so lamps are expensive.
