Not connecting it to the internet and using HDMI like we’ve been doing for the last 20 years…

This. Everything is this.

My fear is that this will change. We already saw LG load malware via windows when connected. So in theory future devices like Roku and Apple TV could act as a proxy for the tv.

This was 100% a Windows driver issue as opposed to a TV issue. And I could see possibly Roku doing this, but not Apple. Apple being Unix based precludes the type of driver loading that Windows is susceptible to.
Same goes for Linux. Just use Linux.
