With the threshold so close to 50% though there is a risk of a fork and eventual loss of funds for everyone on the losing side of the fork?

This risk is present with any signalling threshold. That’s why all rational miners should adopt the BIP before the threshold is reached and historically exactly this happened with BIP-148. Miners hated SegWit but had to activate it to avoid the risk of losing block rewards. I am pretty confident the same thing will happen in August, just before activation.
