Risks of updating composer from 1.10.24 to 2.1.0 on a Magento 2 instance

I want to update Magento from 2.4.1 to 2.4.4-p2 and I need to do other updates first, including updating the Composer from 1.10.24 (current version) to at least 2.1.0.

The issue is that my production environment is on the same server as the development environment and updating the Composer will also impact production. I don’t know if updating the composer on a subdomain level is possible, but I don’t think so.

What would be the main risks in updating the composer from 1.10.24 to 2.1.0 in the production environment?
