Worth remembering that AO3 was founded with the express purpose of Not Letting Our Work Get Nuked By Conservatives Ever Again.
Given that DW was founded around the same time, by people from the same fandom environment, in response to the same conservative-pushed purge...I think DW is better-managed than AO3 in a lot of ways, but when it comes to "platform will a legal stand against being made to delete your work," I don't think AO3 is any less safe than DW.
(Do save local backups of your work, though -- that's always a good idea.)
