First thing first, having unlocked bootloader means safetynet will fail, which makes you unable to use apps that check for safetynet (banking apps, Pokemon go), so you'll need to use universal safetynet fix to pass safetynet anyway.
Secondly, there's still security issue, having unlocked bootloader means allowing your phone to use any bootloader and kernel, thus allowing root access. Although they won't be able to decrypt your data even with root access, they can inject malicious modules in your kernel and wait you to unlock/decrypt the phone yourself then only they start to hijack your phone.
With that being said, having just unlocked bootloader is much safer than having both root and unlocked bootloader, since with unlocked bootloader you are mostly vulnerable to just physical attack.
Feel free to correct me if I am wrong, I am just stating this from the knowledge I know.
Thanks. Very informative. Secondly, there's still security issue, having unlocked bootloader means allowing your phone to use any bootloader and kernel, thus allowing root access.

Ok got it. Meaning with unlock bootloader still need safetynet fix for banking app
