I have to agree with this view.

I have no qualms to players being stranded or entombed because of
their own stupidity. Unfortunately, there is so much more chances for
a freak teleportation to do this than the bad decisions the player can
make. It's a bit of a pity.

It would be great if you could define some areas to not allow an
uncontrolled teleport into them. Especially if this could be
automated. You can check if the floor square has an access to a stair,
would that be rather too costly to do each teleport..?

Controlled teleport would of course be ok - that would be the
aforementioned player stupidity. (Bwahahaha.)

Hatches are probably quite handy for this purpose.
