Having not died yet, it makes me a little worried to run out and try to take down some of the biter nests. Is death permanent? Am I justified in my paranoia? Or should I start taking a few more risks?

Hi there.

Death is permanent. You have to load a saved game if you want to continue playing.

At least the save isn't deleted, I'll just have to remember to save before going out to fight.

Thanks for the help!

There's an autosave every 2 minutes unless you change it, so it's not too much of a worry. At one point I kept getting run over by my own trains running through my base, and I would just load whatever autosave was most recent.
