Dany getting Greyscale would literally be like Jaime Lannister getting cancer. It can't even be related vaguely to any sort of point in the books at all.
I'm not trying to be difficult here, but how do we know? Perhaps her getting greyscale will be important, as she's immediately halt the infection, thus discovering a cure for it (her blood) or something. Or it mars her beauty but is cured by a maester. We can't say for sure.
In the books, Dany is in a a very difficult spot right now, going nowhere fast. We have no idea how Martin intends her to get out of it or what her character arc is from this stuck point. Though in the books of course a Valaryian actually has greyscale, so I don't see immunity being it.
So fine, assume she doesn't get greyscale.
In that case....it's bad writing to have Jorah touching anyone at all with his bare hands, let alone Dany.
