There is no one ideal energy source. The best approach is, as always, to diversify. Relying completely on one source is irresponsible. Nuclear with renewables is a fantastic mix. Especially in countries that can't reliably generate significant amounts of electricity with hydro.

Renewable sources of energy are safer

They're actually not, generally speaking. All types of renewable energy, with the exception of solar, cause more deaths than nuclear does.

Some articles report slightly lower death tolls for renewables, but don't provide any sources for that data. Geothermal energy, which neither of the two sources above includes for some reason, sits right next to wind, so slightly above nuclear in terms of deaths caused per terawatt-hour.

I didn't include geothermal because of how rare it is. We don't all live in Iceland.

You can drill down to get to the heat. The problem is the people with the skills and equipment needed to do this all work for the oil industry.

Yes but no. But yes.

Fault lines, water tables and permabality of rock are major constraints.

Sure it wouldn't be as easy as in places like Iceland, and I'm sure it would mean figuring out a lot of issues. And yeah, you wouldn't be able to do it literally everywhere, but it probably would work in a lot more places than Iceland. But there's currently no incentive to even try.
