I don't see any issue with that, but I'm new to the "behind the scenes" part of MythTV. I assume the reason for running as root is ease of configuration. The main problem with changing that now, is that all recordings are owned by the user mythbackend runs as, so if I were to change that in an update, the end user would not be able to delete any recordings owned by root.
