I do not think it is a big problem either, as ACKs for negative
replies server primarily a transport role (stop reply retransmissions).
Not so bad, if someone else makes them stop.

200-ACKs are presumably worse, as they can carry more sensitive
information, SDP particularly.

If you are interested in security, you better go for secure transport.
I do not see any great security benefit in copy'n'paste of INVITE's
credentials.

Note that none of these issues is related to whether a server
is stateful or stateless.
