In theory, over they years, it could migrate to the surface due to heaving.
But have you ever seen anyone's lawn sprinkler lines doing the same thing?
I wouldn't worry about it. Not like it has water in it that could freeze.

Do I need to put conduit below the frost line? The vendor selling the
fiber cable tells me I need to.....but that's actually rather deep at
this latitude.

That's good advice, thanks.
I see what you're saying about laying out the whole run at the first
obstruction and what a pain that would be.
I pictured plowing in an HDPE conduit with a pull tape in it rather than
plowing cable directly into the ground. So I'd be pulling the entire run
off a reel trailer either way. At the moment this project exists mostly
in my imagination so if plowing in conduit is a dumb idea, this would be a
perfect time to tell me. :)
The discussion about whether you should drill or plow a certain stretch
is subjective. Remember that every time you plow and need to go under an
obstacle you have to figure 8 the whole cable run, or cut and have a
splice point there. That can be a lot of labor if you're trying to keep a
long run intact. Personally, when we are running in a rural area, if we
have driveways every 200-400ft we drill that area. If we can go 800ft or
more without obstructions then we plow that.
