I *think* you're talking about getting trapped in a reboot loop that the device factory resets itself to get out of. That's never happened to me. The system will do a forced reboot if something changes in the /system folder. I've had that happen a few times, but I've never had it factory reset on me. Just don't install apps at random and it shouldn't be an issue.
The super-safe way is to root, enable sideloading and whatever else you want, then un-root. Disabling the root access is easy. It follows the exact same process as rooting, only you select the unroot zip instead of the root zip. It's explained in the same thread I linked. That way, no app can make changes to the /system folder and nothing will cause the tablet to reboot. Downside is, you lose root functionality and apps that require root can't run.
