Are there any safety considerations for new refrigerants in chillers?

You need to apply for pro status and ask all of these question in the pro areas.

Safety concerns like what?

R410 runs a slightly higher pressure than the refrigerants that we're accustomed to.

The BIGGEST concerns are the POE oils and moisture contamination.

I think there are some toxicity issues with R123 for LP chillers and some of the newest blends have some potential flammability.

Understood you are past 15 go for it.

...and remember, it doesn't happen immediately on sending the e-mail.

It take some time, but bribes to Twilly and Robo are rumoured to help...
