Good luck nadir, doing any of those things without caution! (e.g. first use the -s switch for apt and note what will happen)

Kinda yes.
On the other hand i never ran into serious problems (or any problems at all).
The deborphan stuff i first run without the pipe to apt-get and have a look, of course.
But the rest?
Even if stuff gets removed, reinstall it and that's it. No?

Yes and no.
Most configs, as long it's not a server, are stored in the users home. The few changes in etc can quickly be done again.
Second: backups. :-)

Like said: I never ran into any serious problems.
