Risks of staking ETH

I'm considering staking my ETH and saw this on ethereum.org — " Although you can earn rewards for doing work that benefits the network, you can lose ETH for malicious actions, going offline, and failing to validate. "

If I stake on a pool like Coinbase, what are the risks associated with staking? I am planning to hold onto my ETH for years and do not need to sell/withdraw in the near future. Is there any possibility of the 2.0 merger not happening and me potentially losing my ETH?
