Maybe for you. But it would reduce the readability for me.

At a minimum, the blank lines implicitly scope the comments that sit above connected code blocks. Those comments - especially the comment about safety - would be harder to understand and audit without its context being so clear.

And again, can you name any benefit to removing all the blank lines? If we can both read the code easily with some empty lines to space it out, that seems like the best option.
