It's only dangerous if you don't already know what book you are updating the metadata for. Honestly, that isn't going to be the case. Everyone knows what the title/author of a book is before they update the metadata and if they don't they can at least find some kind of identifier within it to help the plugin. The concern I am having is the fact that Amazon and Goodreads are the main sources for me and their metadata is in conflict with each other and how I like my library.
Also, Calibre will use title/author/isbn(if available) no matter what fields you choose to fill in. Even if you deselect every available field they will still come back with a book and the id's. The id field will get changed.
