Of course, no matter what you do it's still LESS SECURE than a (much
simpler and so more reliable) ethernet cable, preferably located

Probably marginally. Many, if not most, of the MSoft updates have to
do with exploits that anyone can use to get control of your computer,
even through the ever popular ethernet cable. Don't know the stats, but
it would seem this kind or attack would be much more likely to happen
than the drive by.
