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

I absolutely would not run fenders if I didn’t live in a rainy climate. Aesthetics is part of it - I like the more muscular look of an unfendered bike (bikepacking rigs representing an extreme example). Fenders also limit tire size, can interfere with brake straddle cables, and in muddy
