Safe to fly during shutdown?

I have to travel for work next week. Tbh I’m a little concerned because of what I’ve been hearing you guys are going through. I’m looking for a gut check to verify if these concerns are legit or if maybe I have tunnel vision brought on by the media’s clearly politically charged coverage. I have heard stories of ATCs working without breaks and even getting sleep deprived because they have to work a second job to make ends meet. Is it really that bad? And if it is would you think it prudent to avoid flying until things get straightened out in the government?
