Is there still a fire risk with LFP? From my understanding, solid state batteries have a large safety advantage here because of this.

Yes - LFP still uses a flammable, liquid electrolyte - usually ethylene carbonate.

That being said LFP survives the nail penetration test without causing a fire, so it's considerably safer than the usual alternatives.
