It's bad only because you're modifying the running system, and that
itself is arguably an inherently bad thing no matter what precautions
are taken.

A better and safer answer is to modify an alternate boot environment
(with everything still up and running), and then switch environments.
With ZFS root, this should become very low cost: zfs snapshot, clone,
write changes, and switch.
