Instead of a general "safe" idea, I'm wondering against what error cases mv should be made aware of? I.e., there are cases when creating the new files/directories fails, when reading or writing fails, and when unlinking the old files/directories fails. IMHO the only solution to be sure mv completely finished its job is when all steps are done. Therefore, using cp+rm makes most sense. Thinking iterative, rsync may be the best option.
