Chances are decent that the nukes don't work any more, so that may not be a threat at all.

I'm still reluctant to put that hypothesis to the test, though, for obvious reasons…

I doubt the tritium is being reliably refilled, but a second stage fizzle is still a disaster, and I'm sure at least some of them can still create a sizable explosion

Right you are. I also wonder whether the rockets all still work, but as you say, at least some of them probably still do.
