Do not do this and do not tell anyone on MR you do this because other might think it's OK to do this when it's clearly not OK.

No, it doesn't take one mistake to totally screw your library. At least not with Dropbox, no idea about OneDrive and Google Drive. If you catch a mistake soon after making it, you can repair it easily. That's why it's important to run the Library Maintenance often. And if you don't check your library for a long time, it may indeed be unrecoverable when you eventually do. But just one mistake does nothing so terrible. Dropbox is more robust than that.
I've kept my library in Dropbox for 10 years. And yes, I've had mistakes. But nothing I couldn't repair easily. As I said, you must be careful to catch those mistakes quickly.
