F1 Visa and pending STEM EAD. Is traveling in this situation a bad idea?

I am currently on an F1 Visa, working on OPT. I applied for my STEM OPT extension back in May. While I received the I-797 form, I have not yet received my new STEM EAD card.

I was planning on traveling to my home country in the EU. My school allows but does not recommend travel in my situation.

Has anyone been in this situation? What are the real risks of doing this? Would I be reckless if I decided to go ahead and travel?

Thank you
