Agree with everything except the data lines are low voltage, but PoE is 48 volts DC. Nominally up to 57V is allowed. That can give you a shock, but it's not going to hurt you. Any exposed pins or wiring, even to air, will corrode in high humidity pretty fast. My mother just went through this when she didn't use dielectric grease in the camera jacks. Even though they were well protected under eaves, the RJ45 connector and jack still got corrosion in it.
Considering CAT5e is good for up to 2.5 gigs, don't think you're going to be exceeding that with your APs.
This cable will eventually break down being exposed to the the sun, elements and worse case animals. It is not meant for direct burial or outside use. That said, it could last a year or two or even more. Buy 5 and be set for ten years. It is minimal risk to injury with Ethernet being low voltage.

I was going to run it out the hole where the coax is coming in and then along the ground to the back house; completely exposed. I assume I shouldn't do that?

Is it worth holding out for a 100' 6a cable if hardwiring Access Points to the main router?

I'd still upgrade to allow for more my old cat5e couldn't handle 1 gig
