This. Every other brick missing from the bottom row or two and a gap at the top so the warm air flows up through the gap.
Maybe nothing would happen, but look at the potential downside if something does. I once had a wood stove (not an insert, but an old stove) plumbed into a brick fireplace in an older house. It was in a fireplace designed for wood burning, on a hearth, etc. I had a big piece of wood that didn't get split small enough and I set it off to the side, well over a foot and a half away from the stove. That piece of wood stayed cool enough to touch, but it looked kinda rustic and my wife decided she liked it sitting there. She put a plant on it in the summer and a rusty watering can on it in the winter ("decor" I guess they call it). It sat there for several years and finally got dry enough that it started to smolder. Luckily we were home so I just chucked it out in the snow.
My point being, cool enough to touch and too cool to ignite might change over time as the wall is slowly cooked.
