A few things, RLS is secure by default, it's postgrest that's insecure by default.
RLS disables all operations on a table once enabled and is only operable once there's a passing policy unless you can bypass RLS.
When it comes to access control, you should probably always have tests for anything halfway important.
Views are a bit of a footgun when it comes to RLS, they bypass it by default. But getting them to play nice is as simple as defining "security invoker" in their definition; not what I'd call heroics.
