It is tested, and it's "safe" as in "Does what it's designed to do". It's definitely not "safe" as in "riskless" - if you make a mistake, you risk damage. I didn't use it myself recently, and do not remember details anymore. It's definitely not something that you are supposed to use/need casually. If unsure, and if your environment is important to you (not just some test/dev/learn thing), I warmly suggest to try this first on a test env (can be done with nested-kvm VMs, no need for physical machines for this). That said, others on this list (and elsewhere) did use it successfully, and I recommend again to search for examples/reports/experiences.
