I've found running a kernel under qemu with my normal rootfs to be quite useful to quickly try out things. See the qemu-test script in the RAUC project for an example: https://github.com/rauc/rauc/blob/master/qemu-test Don't forget to backup of course. Maybe you could even read-only mount the rootfs for added safety.
