  Let's talk about a minimal standard of safety as opposed to relying on
  "knowing what you're doing."

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

I wouldn't have hesitated using 'rm -rf /' if I was going to remove all of the 
files from my current installation and reinstall anew.
And I still don't understand why one would want a switch that bricks your 
computer?



AFAIU (and I'd sincerely like to read a confimation or rebutal), Grub updates need to write to this pseudo filesystem; hence the idea to turn the switch on during this upgrade and let it off the rest of the time. Otherwise I wouldn't see the purpose of even mounting the thing at all.
