The AWS SMS code did not arrive. What now?

Cancel the number and take another one, or try a different country. Some apps block numbers that were used many times, so a fresh number usually works.

Is a temp number safe for my AWS account?

Use a free number only for a test or throwaway account. Free numbers are reused, so someone else could receive a AWS code on it later.
