FEWER risks

Or must I accept that the less/fewer distinction doesn't exist any more.

Explain that distinction.

Generally, tangible things are "fewer," everything else is "less."

"Less" is correct here.

No it's about countability. "Risks" is being used as a plural and hence countable number (one risk, many risks). So fewer is correct.

"They have less risk" would be correct, because risk would be used as a collective noun there.
