Realistically, there are millions upon millions of cars, boats, motorcycles and even planes and trains that do not have metal fuel lines now, and since the beginning of mechanized transportation. It's not inherently unsafe by design.

Having rodents chew through a non-metal fuel line is indeed a safety hazard. You really should inspect your vehicles if you know you have a rodent problem.

You can do what auto racers and plane owners have always done to protect hoses from abrasion and potential sabotage, (rodents in your case), cover them with braided steel. Or you can replace them with solid tubing if it's practical, at your expense.
