Selfish mining is risky to attempt. Sometimes you win big. What I am worried about is collusion with selfish mining (which is basically 2 pools added together being more than 50%) (like foundry and antpool) which can frequently win selfish mining attacks. They would get caught pretty quickly and it would be an industry scandal and tank the price for a bit. But it would definitely shatter mining pools into tiny bits.
