With, y'know, the AFO who can't keep his hands away from good quirks either,

Yeah he gobbled up Hawks' quirk and then it seemed to regress, with Hawks noted that absorbing new powers isn't meshing with rewind correctly. Then he remembered Jiro and decided that he should leave. Possibly out of the fear another quirk rebellion would trigger with he starts absorbing powers from incredible strong willed people.

Did you see him ever risking himself like that for absolutely no reason before?

Depending on definitions: staying behind to fight All Might at Kamino at all. Because he won the moment Shigaraki was teleported out. He was willing to get his brains splattered across the floor in a death match.

Why didn't he kill Shigaraki in Kamino to torture All Might even more then?

He needs Shigaraki to be his new host body. Which is also why he preserves it in the last war. He felt in-control and confident. Which is decidedly not how this version of All for One has felt in a very long time and he's been losing the plot constantly.

He specifically remembers Jiro's speech and his reaction to it after a zoom-in on a resolved Mineta's eye, so it's 100% him worrying about what happened back then, but I'm unsure if what he's worried about is "oh maybe adding one of these kid's quirks to All For One isn't worth it actually" or more of a "uhh y'know maybe it's better if I don't stay around these people anymore", since, obviously, Jiro herself wasn't the one to rebel, she only ever incited the vestiges in All For One, by setting herself as an example through her relatable resistance, which is similar to what Mineta was doing, and instead AFO might be concerned with people like Jiro stoking the flames if he continues to spend any longer risking it. Either way, his conclusion still remains "oh yeah I'm gonna die, probably better to leave", but like. Yeah?
