You can apply that very same concept to Europa, which is theorized to have a similar condition underneath an ice layer, bonus points for it being actual water as opposed to some toxic chemical. The volcanic fissures may already be there in Europa, assuming it isn't actually tidal shearing making the water liquid, so there's one thing done for you.

Too bad Titan's atmosphere is basically dense methane smog that rains down sometimes and creates lakes of methane-based chemicals....

Hilariously, the Directive's comments about the Protectors already indicates the fear in society you allude to since their concern over that group comes from the fact that they've established an extranational colony in the no-mans-land that is Antarctica. And extranational status for novas is the very thing Pax was raging about in his speech at the beginning of that "arms of the angel of wrath" scenario! I imagine that even if nova's were to start a mass-exodus to some off-world colonies somewhere in the solar system, all the baseline power structures left would simply start simmering...

There's also the Watchtower, built for the Justice League by batman, which essentially orbits the planet waiting for threats to pop up.

Also, any discussion of novas in space during that age will have to discuss the Daedalus League and the Protectors (whose ultimate goal was an off-world colony). Cyrus Katrak and Thomas Serring were in talks about exactly that contingency before everything went to hell in Aberrant. Honestly, the terats probably SHOULD have done the same thing....
