I mean, it's really only an issue if you're repeating it for royal blood issues or because a smallish group of people have isolated themselves from the rest of the world geographically or for something like religious reasons.
Even brother-sister incest isn't that big of a deal until a couple of generations goes by. Icky, but not 'deformed babies' icky.
Hollywood has the best moral compass, because it has compassion.

Yes, true. If the genetics are perfect and there are no mutations then there is no genetic issue.

Ancient Rome actually is estimated to have just around one million at its peak.

Well, in-universe, there was already an uncle-niece marriage that produced two kings.
