True. Nothing's stopping her from telling her loved ones about her double life. But even if they did get Akumatized without her telling them, then they still wouldn't know who Ladybug is. But if she did tell them or if they somehow found out, then of course they would worry, possibly to the point of being Akumatized with the added risk that Hawkmoth will know her identity. So it's a lose-lose situation either way. And in turn, she has to worry about those who know her secret that can be used as blackmail or bait, combined with the fact that they don't know who Hawkmoth is, and you'll get one paranoid superhero who will have to look constantly over her shoulder.

Her getting in trouble is a way of showing the downsides of keeping a secret that no one should know about. It's supposed to show that she doesn't always get off scott-free, and in some twisted sense, shows that there's still some semblance of normalcy in a life now filled with magic. It reminds her of what she's fighting for and the sacrifices that come with it.

So yeah, they were never safe, but they won't be any safer if knowing who she is will put direct targets on their backs.
