Gas cook fires themselves are 100x more dangerous, the flame of the Seven Oaks stove is very small compared to a gas cook fire on the lowest setting, but the stove does provide a lot of heat in comparison to it's small flame
Just finished a 72 hour session, we had 2 Co detector both remained constant at 0 (Nest protect and Alecto COA3920), heater only used with the door 1/4 open and on the smallest fire setting

What is the risk if you use it responsibly?

Use a portable diesel heater 
Related and not related, years ago, actually decades ago now 
you used to see anglers on the likes of Cassein with those small log burners, tents having been converted to take them. I watch a lot of camping vids on youtube and I've got to say I love those small foladable wood burners and I don't see why we don't use them more in fishing. I was going to say fishing tent material really isn't designed for it but that's a excuse given the heat retaining tents used in camping. I'd have no hesitation fitting one into my Mk1 Frontier Euro Wrap.
At some point I might still get one even for camping use, a bit of fun.

My problems with any solid fuel fire in a tent is that there are no checks done on the seals around the fire door or the flue joints. Both can let CO2 seep into the tent if they are not sealed correctly and regularly maintained, preferably by someone who has some form of certification. If you Google CO2 poisoning and see how many deaths occur in HOUSES with fires designed for indoor use you'd be shocked. Also if you've ever seen a small nylon/Aquatex or whatever bivvy go up in flames it's a real eye opener. It goes up in literally seconds, dripping molten nylon down on anything inside.
Call me a wimp, I know outdoors people use them, but in a country which is described as temperate, I'll stick with warm clothing and a good sleeping bag, hot water bottle and a thick coated dog 👍

I get you mate but applying gas fire cert to solid fuel doesn't really work. Solid fuel fires are not sealed, they rely as any fire does on the draw from the chimney, I see a lot of alarm raising, I guess the younger gereneration has forgotten that all fires used to be open solid fuel. I know tents are a a confined space and it's different. I used to do a lot of camping and the Mrs likes glamping and a lot of those use solid fuels and you rarely hear of deaths.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying don't underestimate the dangers, it could cost you your life, but I'd like to think that on the whole most people are still sensible and if in doubt wouldn't play Russian roulette with their lives.
As for temperate, for how long
I've fished in -12, Ive got to say I'm a wimp, I didn't enjoy it one bit even being prepared!
