Anybody with sufficient access can bring down a system by accident. It
doesn't matter if it's a single computer or an isolated cluster.

The question on how accident-proof the network needs to be depends on
how many people's work is affected by someone bringing it down. Since we
know nothing about the scale of the network we can't say that the
proposed protocol is "too unsafe".
