Sounds like FUD to me.
Yes, the shared secret used to encrypt DMs may have lower entropy, and that can lead to the shared secret being leaked, leading to your DMs with that person being public.
That does not mean that your private key is compromised. If it would mean that, EC cryptography is broken and all bitcoins can be stolen by someone
Also, the "new protocol" is garbage.

quoting nevent1q…zed4Reminder: NIP-04 DMs have a security flaw.
With significant use (DMs + private zaps + zap payment requests via wallet connect + private lists), an attacker with sufficient hash power can brute force your private key.
Please consider migrating to the new DM with GiftWraps as early as possible.
We also invite all white-hat cryptographers out there to try to break the new system. The sooner we can stress test the design, the better it gets.
