Is Shut Up: Comment Blocker safe?

Low risk

Shut Up: Comment Blocker stores hashed site hostnames when comments are toggled, including in private windows.

When you use the toolbar button or context menu to toggle comment blocking, the extension hashes the current site's hostname and saves it in local extension storage. Its private-window check is asynchronous but not awaited in the save/remove paths, so incognito hostnames can still be added to that local allowlist.
