So am I reading that the hermits and snails would be largely the biggest concern? What about my brittle star?

What size is your brittle star? I have numerous small ones but no large ones and dont have any issues.
I believe this is fish personality specific though (as it is with a lot of reef caution fish, even though porc's are typically NRS)
I was very skeptical about picking up my porc but my LFS had the puffers in individual tanks where they were monitored for 4 weeks with inverts. Out of the 5 puffers they had only 2 didn't bother the inverts (mine and a valentini)
Also my LFS would let me return the fish for store credit in the event that an issue arose.
I've been lucky so far. Also, porcupine puffers are sensitive to copper. I dont know if other puffers are as well. Mine didn't have any issues with CP nor Hyposalinity.

I buy large quantities of snails and crabs assuming my porcupine puffer will eat them. One time I bought a big feather duster. I put it in my tank, turned to call my wife to come see, turned back and it was gone.I have a porc puffer, the only thing it nipped at was some clove polyps and my fingers, plus there was the one time he decided to go floor surfing by hanging on to my shirt. His puppy dog attitude, ability to spit water to get attention and easy to anthropomorphize eyes make him a family favorite. I've had no issues with him eating any clean-up crew (shrimp, snails, crabs, lobster)
The ones I had nipped duncans, wellsos, acans, and clams. They were fine with most other corals
