If you get the exhaust cold enough where you can start collecting steam and the heavy steam/CO2 is flowing down vs up to the sky.
Then you are going to have reduce draft and a colder, smokier RMH.
Even in a properly functioning RMH, the exhaust will contain some carbon monoxide, VOC, and other nasties, that your family/pets should not be exposed to.
Even "safe" carbon dioxide will knock you out and kill you if the levels get high enough.
Iterations are fine, we don't have to be perfect
