The main thing that bothers me about the Boglehead program is the usual Goodhart's law deal: the more popular index funds become as a form of low-risk exposure to markets, the worse I'd expect them to perform as indices, and the less stable I'd expect them to be. I'm not sure what to actually do about this, though, or if it's even a problem worth worrying about.

a form of low-risk exposure to markets

That's a nice oxymoron right there :-)
