The issue becomes that while it would offer you a time saver in the short term, it would give you headaches later with security and as you try to expand out your puppet infrastructure, which you will have to do once you reach at the very least 50 hosts. The best solution that I could offer is you would want to publish files to a source control repository and basically have the puppetmaster populate the working copy from the copy in source control. This offers a bit of control when you try to only push out production changes to production systems, and also ensure that if you have multiple puppet masters that they will have the correct file.
