Putting aside the inconvenience of going to the reception desk everytime you need to put/take something, the more pressing issue is how reliable is the reception desk. They can just open your box and empty you wallet

Sure, they staff empties the box and the hotel loses the customer and all others who he speaks to...
Are you crazy?
Nobody will do that. More than that: leave money on the table in the room at Formosa and nobody will take it. I did it several times. Staff in Formosa is really good.
If you have big money or jewels, leave it with the passport in the safety box. The problem is not the hotel staff, but someone you may spend the night with you. You wake up in the morning, and she/he is not there with you anymore, and also your stuff seems to be missing
Usually I leave my documents in the safety box, but current money in my room, for the convenience of taking it when I need. But I hide most of it, leaving 200k in the drawer, just in case someone sleeping with me is not honest and wants to steal something. In such a case, she can take the 200k. But it never happened in 5 years I go there, after many dozens of girls who spent the night with me coming from varied sources, mostly unreliable (disco and pubs).
I go to the safety box only twice in a week: when I check in and when I check out.
My real worry is my laptop. My nightmare is that some girl takes it in the night and disappears!
