You mean in your openwrt setup, d-bus is running as non-root, right? Or is it a generic openwrt thing?

If MM is the only user of the DBus system bus you're probably fine. I'd assume that the dbus-daemon may require extra privileges if e.g. it needs to do DBus activation of services, but that is not the case in your setup. -- Aleksander
