thanks, will keep in mind.

Also, about ROA expirations is it possible to configure an automatic ROA
extension after it's expires ?

We're thinking of enabling BGP ROA, because more and more ISPs are using

Does enabling Hosted Mode (where it doesn't requires any additional
configuration on client end) on RPKI could for some reason could cause a
traffic loss ?

The only disasterious scenario i could think of, is if we would enable
ROA
with incorrect sub prefixes, maximum prefix length. Am i Right ?

I think you correctly identified most of the potential pitfalls. Another
pitfall might be when a typo in the Origin AS value slips into the RPKI
ROA.

For example, I originate 2001:67c:208c::/48 in the DFZ from AS 15562.
Should I'd accidentally modify the covering ROA to only permit AS 15563,
the planet's connectivity towards 2001:67c:208c::/48 would become
spotty.

So... - BEFORE - creating RPKI ROAs, I recommend setting up a BGP/RPKI
monitoring tool. NTT's excellent BGPAlerter might be useful in this
context: https://github.com/nttgin/BGPalerter

Don't deploy things without monitoring! :-)

Kind regards,

Job
