Brake clearance is a good point since you have V-brakes. Fenders are a safety feature for canti's since if your cable snaps the straddle cable can't drop onto the tire and catch on the knobs. But they do pose potential risks as mentioned - stay into the spoke seems unlikely to me, since they tend to swing outwards if they come un-done, but if a stick finds its way between the tire and fender you've got a recipe for a bent fork and trip over the handlebars! Rare but happens. I'm actually waiting on some PDW fender stays that have a break-away design for the Bombadil, since it's the bike this is most likely to occur on.
