Late hop additions with wet hops and wild yeast

I am going to be brewing my first harvest ale soon, and I am wondering your thoughts on using fresh hops at flame out and the chance of wild yeast getting into the beer? Is this an issue or would you need to use Camden tablets to treat?

Thanks for your help!

No chance of yeast survival in the boil.

Yeah dry hop could be an issue but not flameout

If you use an immersion chiller, all of your wort is sitting at pasteurization temps for a good 5-10min after flame out as well. Though even if you chill your beer in 5 min, as long as you stir the hops in while the wort is still hot and then chill, you're good.
