Another risk is that even if you have a mild case, you have still have risk of long COVID.

The majority of available studies on the long COVID are demonstrating the vaccinated are reporting lower incidence of long-term symptoms and life changing events.

Association between BNT162b2 vaccination and reported incidence of post-COVID-19 symptoms: cross-sectional study 2020-21, Israel | npj Vaccines

Vaccination with 2+ doses of BNT162b2 was associated with a reduced risk of reporting most of the common post-acute COVID-19 symptoms. Our results suggest that BNT162b2 vaccination may have a protective effect against longer term COVID-19 symptoms.
