Yeah I thought as much on the root access question but I thought I'd ask
:) However, the machine I was thinking I'd potentially configure for
root access is cut off from the outside world; inaccessible except from
within my own network. My other server (different physical machine) is
accessible however and I'd never configure that with root access.
Thanks a lot for your input :)

theoretical security concerns
Hello Chris,
Someone said root access?
<paranoid_mode=on/>
Is not theoretical issue is real big security problem.
I am assuming you have a connected server to Internet and is not a
home network.
The short answer is "No". Never use root password for a service
accessible by anyone from outside. Never.
A user for all databases?:
Yes, Why not?
Add some additional security to your database server.
Strong Username/password credentials
Setup your MySQL server in other port than 3306
Setup your MySQL server for allow connections from some configured hosts.
Setup your Firewall tables database server port for accept only from
configured IPs
