Unless you plan on implementing any other stronger DRM than the steam provided one. I wouldn't bother releasing a safe version.

It's brutally simple to crack steam drm on your own. You just need the clean files from cs.rin.ru/forum or something.

Unsafe cracks will be published elsewhere anyways if your game is popular enough.

I suggest you just don't add any DRM at all.

Running files you downloaded from a Russian website, what could possibly go wrong

cs.rin.ru is very well regarded in the piracy community and quite a few cracks originate there. You can also learn how to crack yourself on that site.

“Very well regarded in the piracy community” isn’t a phrase I thought I’d see today 🤣

Why not, after you clicked on a post in a piracy community?

Well, it's not like people that know what they are doing, download from any random site they come across. There are sites that are well regarded and many that are not (like piratebay)
