Whether you are fine with 2 depends on how much you are willing to shrug any possible outcome off and say: "I guess it's fine".

And, more essentially, how much the rest of the company just shrugs it off and says: "I guess it's fine", so when it blows up you can defend with the famous defence my Nazi grandfather also told me: "But everybody else did it too."

Remember the Xerox printer that was swapping out (and therefore falsifying) numbers in their compression algorithm whenever you made a copy? Imagine we could bring this to all of our business processes, but in new and unexpected ways.
