> I'm not certain I understand how double free is memory unsafe (in the sense of "causing vulnerabilities")

Perhaps there are some allocators where doing that hits UB. UB in memory allocation is probably always a memory safety issue. I would say if your code accepts any allocators where double-free could be UB then you've got a safety issue.
