You don't have to but I used MrChromebox's firmware on a C710, C720, and 2 Asus Chromeboxes.
The project has been around about 10 years. I think it if was not trustworthy we probably would have heard something by now.
I remember using the SeaBIOS firmware from them around 2014. Since then I've updated all machines to the UEFI firmware and now they can even boot Windows. I run the latest Fedora distribution on all of them and they work fine.
