Yes, that and many other setups can be used to make the Legacy RAW version effectively risk-free.

Exactly. Although I also prefer the creative unpredictable variants we thought of before, because they make the dangers unknown and less predictable.

The pillar cave village seems more like a gamey silly rule-based joke concept to me, than something I'd want as a real thing in my game worlds. Seems to me an offended demon would teleport out, steal a petard and come back and cause a well-deserved cave-in wiping out the place.
But given it is possible to overpower a demon, an observation about how much theoretical money could be made on industrial wishes might be interesting. Not to mention how now I'm sure you would expect all
your "typical wizards" to end up st ST 14 DX 14 IQ 20 after only 200 XP as a goblin, or 700 XP as a human.

If so that would seem to elevate the chances of the wizard not surviving the attempt and making it less likely to try.

Yeah, if they could, the RAW lesser wish triple damage attack could be harder to survive.
Though if the RAW "instantly heal all a living character’s wounds, diseases, etc., bringing him back to full ST and health." is allowed, combined with the new Legacy RAW death rules, it makes surviving any amount of damage "super-easy, barely an inconvenience!" ... which to my mind is crazy for a game supposedly involving serious risk of consequences in combat, but whatever.
