There is no such thing as being "done" with safety. You can go as deep as you want with as large a team as you want and never be able to say "okay we're safe now."

If basic ethical grounding requires safety to be the top priority, and safety work is inexhaustible, then it must be unethical to ever work on the product being safe.

Absolutely correct. Safety is about managing risks, not eliminating them completely at all costs. An airline which truly saw safety as the top priority would never put a plane in the air. Making money is the top priority; safety (or security) is one consideration that influences how you go about it.
