In this scenario your hand-edits can be lost since the in-memory version of the schema is written out without re-fetching it from Zookeeper. If you only ever hand-edit your schema, you'll be fine. If you conscientiously reload your collection (or restart all your Solr's) after you hand-edit your schema, you'll be fine even if you use the managed schema API calls. But really, if you want to hand-edit your schema why not go back to using the ClassicSchemaFactory?
