Isn't that a security risk? Having to open a port for the pi and then always keeping an eye on it in case the next heartbleed, etc. is discovered?

You could set up a DMZ if you're concerned. But even if someone gets on my LAN, it's not the end of the world. They could send goatse to my Chromecast, I guess.

No, it's literally what firewalls and DMZs are for.
