The one issue I have seen with puppet managing itself is if someone
adds something stupid like:
"--splay=300"
To /etc/sysconfig/puppet "EXTRA_OPTS"
(yes I am speaking from experience)
Puppet will restart and die instead of ignoring and warning about the
bad configuration option.
This could be a common mistake in general, and I think this would be a
reasonible safety precaution.
