On my devices with the 3.5mm headphone jack the connection is physically strong enough so that the plug doesn't come out if the cord gets pulled on by mistake (my headphones come off instead). But with the lightning connector it looks like it isn't a very strong connection and it would only take a light tug to pull it out. It probably isn't an issue for stationary devices but would it be an issue for mobile devices.
It takes more than a light tug to pull it out. I don't think it would be a problem.
