Silly topic is silly.
They are hazardous like almost every other munition used producing contamination and toxicity.
The fact is why are Ukrainians getting the best munitions. They cannot produce them. They effectively require nuclear capability. Depleted uranium is produced how, off prior enrichment and cores and scientific know how.
There are little defenses to these rounds and they don't just need tanks firing them. Used in sniper rifles. They literally pierce through most defenses, armour, and walls. Burning holes right through it. If you get hit by them you're quite dead. The contamination on impact also kills, producing a dust or vapor, until dissipation, like on almost every bomb or explosion. Except not much study on trace and ground tables, except readings of any traces where these slugs and shells have been used. But often those same readings and science will tell the type of munition blowing up most buildings and impacts. Are there concerns, sure. However it's war. Little health and safety. How does that work.
The debate becomes how a non nuclear enemy has those rounds. It then causes a reaction to them. Not whether they're propaganda. Because the propaganda could sooner read all out war.
This becomes a bigger concern as more and more stuff gets given to the Ukraine. Jets now, long-range missiles, drones, modern tanks, artillery systems. Etc etc.
At what point does a supposedly superior enemy not use its full arsenal?
Numbers get scary, Russia could have endless soldiers, far more, so much bigger population, millions. If China and others start production for it, when does this end? There's only escalation. Until any arsenal uses all of its capability. Ukraine is. It's getting endless funding and endless resupply of arms from everyone else. What stops it? Only bigger guns, right? The same is assumed against. So the anti keeps rising.
