Do the NET rankings use margin of victory as part of the ranking process? If so, that could lead to coaches that expect their team to be on the NCAA bubble to play starters longer to build larger margins of victory - despite already having a win in hand. Doesn't exactly promote player overall health/safety.

Yes, that is one of the factors. In addition to potentially causing injury to your starters, it leads coaches to give the bench less developmental minutes. So, after those same starters get tired or hurt, the coach needs to bring in the bench players, but they have not had the exposure that they could have. All because of NET.
