Considering the asbestos debacle, I would think that if anything was showing
up as a problem, they would have stopped using fiberglass in furnace
filters long ago.

Right now, it's exposed. I know there's debate about how harmful it may
or may not be to work with, but if it's just sitting there between the
joists undisturbed, is there anything to be concerned about? TIA.

It probably gets disturbed every time someone walks on the floor upstairs.

I know the jury is still out on fiberglass exposure, but I personally
would feel "uncomfortable" with a source directly overhead.
