The waste is worth the carbon emissions reduction.
If we could replace all our carbon emitting power with wind and solar today I would be in full support. But we can’t. Especially in parts of the world where solar doesn’t work half the year.
So I’ll take the waste surrounded by warnings burried in a hole over carbon emissions. Carbon emissions are much worse.
I’d rather solve the immediate problem with power generation, which will only grow and grow since our entire society will need to electrify, than argue about some future issue that might occur in 10-100 thousand years.
At this point I’m more concerned about how our world will look in 100 years, we’ll have thousands of years to solve the spent fuel issue when our climate is stabilized

Just need to bury it at the tooth of a subduction zone.
