Risky, mostly on a cognitive level.
'command -p foo' doesn't look like it has a side effect.
E.g. assume you have /usr/local/bin/foo and /bin/foo
PATH=/usr/local/bin
command -p foo
foo
You would not think that /bin/foo is executed for foo, given the value of PATH.
It could also lead to bugs.
E.g.
PATH=/usr/local/bin
source script
foo
When the 'command -p foo' is introduced in the sourced script, foo changes.
