What do I risk if I leave my crypto on Coinbase or gdax?

The risk is of somebody hacking GDAX as it happened with Mt.Gox in 2014. If you do not trade daily, transfer the crypto to your software wallet (that could also be hacked on your mobile phone as McAfee warned), or better yet place it to your hardware wallet.

You will not get the same amount of the new coin instantly after the segwit2x.

Yup, I don't keep money of any kind, be it fiat or crypto, on the exchanges any longer than I need it for trading/settlement of funds.

That's good to know. I don't keep any more money in the bank than I have to. I don't trust the banks.

But, if I have my crypto in an offline wallet I will?

Yes, that's the point.
