AFAIK the risk is about the same as having a kid after 40.

Yup, and AFAIK, it’s legal in some areas to have kids with your first cousin.

Probably legal in more places than it’s illegal

It is, in fact, legal more places than not. Cousin marriage was extremely common for thousands of years. It only really started to drop off when people started owning cars and could meet people from further away. Most places still haven’t changed their laws, and it’s low risk enough that it’s not a serious concern if it’s just once in a while rather than, say, medieval European royalty shenanigans.
