I'd go with:

             Enable extra sanity checks in networking.
-            This is mostly used by fuzzers, but is safe to select.
+            This is mostly used by fuzzers, and may introduce some
+            minimal overhead, but is safe to select.

What's acceptable on prod systems really depends on the workload..
