The good thing is: They might be big but they are mainly a risk for bees. But not much is actually as obnoxious (or dangerous for humans) as the aggressive assholes that are our domestic common wasps.
Bees are already dying out though, which is very dangerous to humans. We don't exactly need winged terrorists accelerating the process.
Maybe we should import some of my favourite insects, Japanese honey bees. They have an effective way to deal with giant hornets
Are Honey Bees in danger in Europe as well? The only headlines I've seen of them being on the decline were about North America before
Yeah, it's very much happening here too
