Aren't your regular NAT rules in NAT instance 1? That command will
overwrite those and leave just the new ones.
If that's the case, you can put those rules in a different NAT instance,
or add them to the rest of your NAT rules.
As to the risk, given the security history of UPnP, this kind of static
port forwarding might be more secure. Redirect only the necessary ports
and don't worry about it. Or isolate the PS4 in a DMZ, if you're
concerned it could be used as a point of entry into your network.
Cheers,
Thomas
