Well, obviously it's unsafe if you remove safety checks. And if you
care to look at the changelog of kernel/printk.c you'll find out why.

Short story: It's introducing nasty latencies.

Use "earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200,keep" if you care, but do not
complain about the resulting latencies.

Thanks,
