Only issue I have with this is creating more taxable income via the interest.

For me the only real risk is that I'm converting part of my emergency fund to I-bonds. So as long as I don't need that part of my e-fund in the next 12 months I should be good. It would take something truly catastrophic for that to happen but that's the risk.

Otherwise that 10k would be sitting in an ally account collecting 0.5% interest (and falling).

You also don't have to pay the taxes on the interest until you redeem.

No different than high yield savings/checking account or CDs. Also, the interest is tax deferred till you redeem the bond and you can redeem smaller partial amounts.
