Is my SELinux configuration wrong and dangerous?

Hello,I'm using CentOS 8 as a web server that hosting a WordPress website. I have two questions. 1- I defined SELinux for WordPress directory as below:
# ls -lZ /var/www/drwxrwxr-x. 7 apache apache unconfined_u:object_r:httpd_sys_rw_content_t:s0 4096 Sep 19 23:37 wp
I created an account for a remote developer that working on WordPress. On some websites, I saw that the OK permission forwp directory is "httpd_sys_r_content_t" and not "httpd_sys_rw_content_t" and someone recommended to back permission via below command:
# restorecon -rv /var/www/wp
Is it true? Is "httpd_sys_rw_content_t" a dangerous permission and can lead to hacking?
2- WordPress can't update and showed me "cURL Error (7): couldn't connect to host" error. I did below command to solve it:
# setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect on
Can this command make Apache insecure and must I turn it to "off" ?

Thank you.
