Another problem with actually living in a planet in the habitable zone so near a red dwarf star is that they have solar flares just like our sun. That is, the flares are as powerful as our sun's. But when your star is much dimmer and closer to maintain that habitable zone, the relative size of the flares are much larger and more life-threatening.
