How do you feel about sharing the skies with this little, wingless

Appears to weigh about what a mature bald eagle would weigh (~14 lbs), and
has about the same altitude range (both about 10,000 ft).

Since there are a lot more eagles than UAVs, I'd be more worried about an
eagle strike than a UAV strike.

But an eagle's wingspan is between 72 to 90 inches

the ability to avoid aircraft. You'd have to have eyes better than
Yeager to see that little Honeywell UAV at two miles up, so you
couldn't count on the ground observer to see-and-avoid visually.
