I guess you'd also need to look at possibilities that the laser light with the "safe" energy density of 10 J/cm² can't get focused by accident, e.g. by glasses or windows and whatnot, giving a higher and therefore potentially eye-damaging energy density.

Machine vision stuff expects a pixel map as input. You'd have to implement some quick raster scanning step to build that, but I guess in principle it would be possible.
Yeah, laser safe with optics is a real concern. Again IR might be useful here, for some frequencies only exotic materials are transparent like quartz, salt, transparent aluminum.
Using the lasers you could measure insect wing beat frequency to avoid killing non target insects. I believe I read that in an older paper about insect laser fences, maybe these authors ignored it because it's patented
