1. since I use HSM(now is softhsm) to store the DNSSEC key, does it more
insecure to convert the key(s) from HSM to .private file with
dnssec-keyfromlabel ?

keys are not actually 'converted' with this utility; instead the .private file
links to the corresponding private (and typically unexportable) key on the HSM.
(If you look inside the .private key you'll see a "Label:" which contains the
base64-encoded "pointer" to the key on the HSM.

In other words, use of dnssec-keyfromlabel(1) is not a security issue per se.
