Yes, obviously the original RAW file will not be modified. But once you do the stack, any edits performed on the stacked composite (such as pulling shadows, etc) will be destructive, since they are coming from TIFF starting material, not RAW or DNG.
Like I said in my original message, an ideal workflow would be to stack a set of RAW files and output the resulting HDR as a .DNG or other file format that can be edited non-destructively. From there, the stacked file can be edited to produce a final image. In the workflow used in this script, the script exports RAW files as TIFFs, stacks the TIFFs and gives an output. The problem with this is that if, say, you want to change the white balance or something, you need to go back to the RAW files, tweak the setting you want to change, then redo the export/stack process. That is, if I'm understanding correctly how the script works.
