Nook is safer, because, if I understand it correctly, you can boot from the external card and cure it, whatever you did there to break it.
On T1 and T2, you need to retain the ability to boot in recovery mode so that you can restore from backup. You need to be more careful with re-partitioning, but you can do whatever you want in the system partition.
The restoring from backup is pretty safe too. Rupor, the developer of AMR, was restoring from backup literally hundreds of times without a single problem.
There are other alternatives, other packages for rooting and extending the functionality.
But AMR is the best.
So people show up in the forum: I used some other package, not AMR, I don't remember which one, and then I started to add some other stuff from another package and then tried to restore to the original firmware again with who knows what, and I have not made a full backup before I began and please help.
So please don't count such cases.
And on the rooted T2, you also can install, uninstall applications. Quite a lot of them, actually. The data partition for installed applications was increased almost 10 times.
It is also possible to enable "move to the external card" functionality but it is not really needed having 400 MB of space for installed applications.
