Hm, maybe. But, given my lack of familiarity with udev, does it
indeed give that access to local, active users only? That was my
point of where I’m not sure about.

No, the only way I've seen them sold is for $40 with a free OpenBSD CD.

Hi,

antimicro’ new upstream version wants to install the following
udev rule file:

#Enable user access to keyboard using uinput event generator
SUBSYSTEM=="misc", KERNEL=="uinput", TAG+="uaccess"

What exactly are the consequences of this? Should I warn users,
or is this safe (current console user only), or what?


Whether it's safe to grant access to /dev/uinput (to local, active 
users) is probably better answered by the kernel maintainers or the 
maintainer of that specific subsystem.
