The most generic antonym would be 「[無難]{ぶなん}」.
If you are using 「[多難]{たなん}」 in the compound 「[前途]{ぜんと}多難」, then its antonym would be 「前途[洋洋]{ようよう}」.

I think many people would agree.

It seems like people have fairly strong intuition about which words go together in pairs, even if linguists consider "antonyms" to be a poorly defined concept.

If you look at which pairs of words are in alternation, though, you'd definitely end up with words from different parts of speech.

Like, I suppose someone might say 不十分 is naturally matched with 十分, but people say 足りない a bit more often than 不十分, don't they?
@Earthliŋ Are you familiar with adblock? Personally, I can't browse the internet without it. And yeah, late reply, I know. :)

Would it be better to put 対義語 or 反対語 as the gloss for the antonyms tag? As far as I can tell, they both mean the same thing and are both relatively common.
I just created an antonyms tag on our site. We usually make tag names in English, and then put the Japanese equivalent in the tag description, but I'm not sure which Japanese word to use.
Wikipedia lists all sorts of words for 'antonym':
対義語
アントニム
反義語
反意語
反義詞
反対語
対語

I think... particularly on somewhat more elementary questions, we've got a lot of people who really want to say 'go get a textbook'... but are thinking "but if someone's going to answer you here, I might as well do it"
There's another factor too... Japanese attracts a lot of EXTREMELY low effort "learners". In real life, I have probably met at least 50 people who tell me that "they are studying Japanese too, and after a year (or more) have almost learned all the hiragana"
... and some people are less willing to just nod and smile
@AmaniKilumanga I don't know what you mean by "positively affect". The ads on SE are either ads for Area 51 proposals, or for ("hot") questions on other SE sites and I usually find both types of ads interesting. I would never go to 200 sites to browse the active questions tab to find a question that interests me...
@AmaniKilumanga I think it's due to the different levels of interest or passion in the subject matter
maybe some of those that are really passionate about their subject matter do not validate the interest or passion of those that are not as interested or as invested as they are in the subject.
something like a "you must put in as much interest/effort as I have"
