Xcode 14.3.1 update needs reboot to install system extension?

Been having trouble with this update. It's 1.6G to download but needed 50G to not fail because of a download error. Now I'm getting an alert saying I need to reboot into safe mode an enable system extensions. That step worries me for a bunch of reasons. Should I need to modify my security settings for an incremental update?

This is something I've never had to do before, btw.

I have problems with this update 14.3.1, too. It fails at the end of the update process after installing half an hour and without memory issues. It does not say it fails, it just begins to download the update again. The update process is definitely buggy this time.
