Huh? Try? There are no tries.
You've asked "to share your experience/opinion", so I gave you my 
personal recommendation.

As for reported "compromises", you always have to read between the lines.
If you connect a device to WAN network you have to configure it 
properly, otherwise anything could happen to it and it doesn't matter 
who manufactured it.
RISC architecture hardware coupled with RouterOS is a powerful tool and 
it is end-user's responsibility to secure it and maintain it, not just 
leaving it there with open service ports and default or even changed 
login\password.
