It is if the crowdsourced sources are bad. Outside of that happening, you are just going directly to the project instead of through a curator.

With F-Droid you have at least a guarantee that the app builds, and at least during the initial review nothing bad was found
You can argue you're adding F-Droid to the entities you trust (unless it's a reproducible build), but at the same time you're relying a lot less on a random's developer honesty (and security)
