It is safe - at the least it does not break anything that is already
working. I guess the decision to put it into -rc depends on whether you
consider out of tree dtbs to be a valid usecase for the kernel.

That's all DT is about, getting rid of the necessity for in-tree
hw-descriptions. ;)

But I don't need any rush here, I'm just unable to understand why the
-rc phase isn't used for bug fixing as I believe that's what this phase
is for.

The push back you are seeing is because this is pretty late in -rc
cycle. If this push back was not there the bug fix cycle would probably
never close.

In all probability, if this was -rc2 or even -rc3 there would not be so
much discussion.

Thanks,
Sekhar
