Probably, yeah, but I have exported snapshots and backups for such cases, and data itself is encrypted. So at worst a few hours lost. They can be easily disconnected i just never actually do it.
Many malicious actors don’t trigger their payload that you would notice until after data has been mined.
I’ve visited businesses to help put together basic infrastructure after their systems were encrypted and ransomed. We would bring up a backup from the night before only to find the system still infected. We would go back a week, 2 weeks, a month.
These things lie in wait and only as the final nuclear option do they get noticed.
Kind of not a problem? If malware in question would try to write itself onto other drives it needs to know my luks pin and support my fs, so at worst it can try and fail. If it’s a windows machine that has it, well I’ll just nuke it after firat reoccurence. Realistically, I’ve had this setup for over a decade and there were 3-5 times when pirated game had malware.
Unless you have the other SSDs physically disconnected, you’re still running the risk of having your other installations affected by ransomware.

What’s stopping the malware just blowing the disks away? You keep backups disconnected right?
Yes, backups are on multiple separate devices, that are both online and offline.
