* mixed transactional and non-transactional tables
  not relevant in this context
  why would someone mix innodb/myisam a database and transaction?

* use of non-deterministic functions such as uuid()
  not relevant in this context

* stored procedures and functions
  not relevant in this context

* update with LIMIT clause
  not relevant in this context
  even if, combined with a clear "order by" no problem

for postfix lookup tables you have usually a very simple
database scheme with very few changes and 99.9% of all
queries are readonly because postfix does even not need
any write permissions to the database (and does not have
it in any of my setups)

so you have a simple webinterface for updates or if
you have only a few domains/users maybe phpMyAdmin or
terminal would be enough

so there is virtually zero danger for get out of sync
