That's a good question.  If you want to be max-paranoid, I guess you
should put all your Org files in git, and review and commit all changes
with magit.  For certain things that might make sense (e.g. I do that
with readme files in published projects), but for my personal Org files,
that would feel like a burden to me.

I do store my personal Org files in git, but I don't review the changes
manually.  I commit the changes automatically with a cron job and when my
"emacs-raise-or-run" script raises or minimizes the Emacs window.  If I
ever need to review the changes, I can use magit or gitk.

If you add this to your .git/config file in a git repo of Org files, it
uses Org heading lines as diff headers, which helps when reviewing
changes:

[diff "org"]
    xfuncname = "^\\*+ +.*$"
