Considering that space debris is a major concern, what guarantees are there that some of these birds won't become orbital hazards? (Yes, I'm well aware that many of them won't be out there for very long, but re-entry can't always be accurately predicted.)

As I see it there's no absolute guarantee that any satellite won't become an orbital hazard at some point.
The debris from weapons testing in space can generate hundreds of thousands of fragments but the biggest hazard is natural debris - there are tens of millions of natural debris fragments in Earth orbit.
