Is it safe to use an address twice (privacy excluded)?

I have read that if the random nonce k used for the ECDSA signature is not chosen at random then someone can calculate the private key.

Is this really a problem in practice?

I make a test transaction for new addresses to make sure that they work correctly.

I use Bitcoin Core 27.1.
