The reason for closing LN channels now is that you want to do it before there is a split, not after. It's preventive. This is important because otherwise you anyway have to monitor 2 chaintips on different clients and you might as well just let it sit.
The danger is only in there being 30% or more, but less than, say 75% of hashpower on BIP-110 in the first few days. If that happens, then there is a chance for multiple long reorgs, and that is where LN nodes are vulnerable. I'm not even sure how having a watchtower for 1 channel on each of the 2 tips works.
I think that the chance is small, but it is still non-zero. Maybe 1:100 that anything happens at all... but if it happens, we're probably not prepared.
