I dropped my phone yesterday and now the screen has a spiderweb crack, but the display and touch functionality are intact. Some local repair shops claim they can replace just the glass. I've heard online that this could be risky and might damage the digitizer or display itself. Should I take the plunge and go with this glass-only replacement? I'm worried about getting a low-quality screen or spending too much for a full replacement.

Before you proceed, make sure to ask if they guarantee their work. It's essential to get any warranty or policy in writing to protect yourself after the repair.
What type of phone do you have? Knowing the model could help get better advice. Generally, replacing just the glass can be tricky on newer phones, so sending it to a professional might be a better option.
Just a heads up, glass-only replacements are pretty much a thing of the past. You should be wary of anyone offering this for less than a full screen replacement. The parts are usually integrated now, and it's unlikely they'll be able to separate the glass without causing more damage, especially if they're underpricing it.
I’ve tried a glass-only replacement on my phone, and honestly, it was a hassle. I wouldn’t recommend it again. There's a good chance that the digitizer or the screen could get damaged in the process. I'd prepare for the possibility of more repairs if you choose this route.
