There's a 2024 Accord Touring Hybrid that sat in a lot on the other side of the county, then was moved to a dealership near me and is currently priced just under 30k. <50mi on it, but is technically a used car since it was sold by the first dealership.

Are there any risks besides these that I would need to be aware of?

Have the 12v battery tested
Make the dealership do an oil change
Check for tire flat spots
Have the high voltage battery tested (I've read that it's important not to let hybrids sit for a long period of time w/o driving. From my understanding dealerships start them and run them every other week or so for a few minutes just so the batteries won't start having issues)

Biggest up front cons:

Technically used so I won't be able to get the tax deduction on interest paid on the loan for a new vehicle assembled in the US
I may be missing out on 2 years of warranty on the battery (I need to call honda to verify this)
I may be missing out on part of the 3yr/36kmi warranty (I need to call honda to verify this)

I was originally looking at a new Civic Sport hybrid, but with a kid on the way I'll likely appreciate the extra space of the accord for the same price. I'll also appreciate all the extra functionality on this trim that I normally would not pony up for.
