No, all functions that use unsafe functions need to be moved to an

function (even if indirectly) it needs to be juggled back and forth
between the two different modules.

In case it isn't clear yet, I just want to state for the record that this is *not* the case. If there's some documentation or something that gives a misleading impression here, please let me know and I'll try to fix it.

The whole of Data.ByteString is safe. It's implementation is marked Trustworthy, because it uses unsafe APIs internally. Data.ByteString can be used from Safe code just fine.
