But without knowing what the risk/reward factor is, one might assume that the risks might outweight the reward, especially since we know what the risks are, but we can only guess at what the, perhaps marginal, rewards might be.

And, some of my best performing pages don't have ANY outgoing links. So I don't think there is any penalty for not having outgoing links. And I haven't noticed any "Boost" on my pages that have quite a few outgoing links.
