Question #1: is it safe? Question #2: if something happens, do I want to explain why I let someone climb it?
Nothing is ever 100% safe. Stuff happens. But stuff shouldn’t happen because known risks were ignored.

Notice how the widths are different causing the American bottom to be tapered. Is this something that is just goofy but still safe? The tower does look to be in remarkably good shape, besides the wrong section part. It's been up for years including some serious winds over that time. Or is it a situation of don't be anywhere near the tower and just run as fast as possible away from it?

Yep, a bit of gravel under that tower would have prevented that. I would say, new base put in right and you are good to go.
