Since validate_metadata is actually checking the len, it should be possible to keep using the unchecked version here, no?

Problem
Currently account length validation is done implicitly when reading account data. It would be better to do it explicitly.
Solution
Replace all uses of
from_bytes_uncheckedforfrom_bytes.
