X is only unsafe if you don't run it safely.
I install X client utilities on all my servers, and don't run the GUI server

libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4001c000)

Has no X linking. Which means you can install the program without X, or if
you are on someone else's server with restricted access, in your own
