Cheap and old bike I got to beat up. Not doing anything crazy at all but am wondering how big of a concern those dents are.

Don’t go crazy on it and you’ll probably be fine.

It could easily get worse and be dangerous. If you want to ride it you should regularly inspect it and pay attention to squeaks and if it starts to feel a little different.
In my non-professional opinion: Low likelihood of having issues on a bike path or light trails. Not a bike to be pushing the limit on.

Gravel paths? Ok. Green trail? Might be ok. Blue trail? Probably Not. Black Trail? Definite no no.
Would I ride it like this? See above but change answers to Yes, Yes, NO, OH HELL NO!

Go fast enough at an intersection. No helmet. Close your eyes. Let go of the bars. Possibility looks good.

The biggest certainty in life is death awaits all of us, the biggest uncertainty in life is when we will die. If you ride this then you need not worry about the uncertainty! /j but honestly I wouldn’t ride that and risk injury

I’d still ride it. I’ve had dents in frames before with zero issues. Same with friends. Cannot imagine this ever being a problem. I think people are here are being overkill by saying to never ride this on anything harder than a blue lmao
