The “sharp increase or risks” seems correct but is a bit misleading.
For paternal risks, there is indeed an big relative increase “14% higher odds of premature birth” (https://www.bmj.com/content/363/bmj.k4372). But in absolute terms, I would not think of the increase as huge: from ~6% ( based on quick googling) to ~6*1.14=6.84%.
IMO ~1% increase in risks is not something to be concerned about.
Not sure if you saw the full post at the link, but some absolute risks, such as for miscarriage, are much higher. And for me personally a 1% risk of having a child with a serious mental disability is really scary. Perhaps not for you.
