You can probably get better consistency from a properly-built database.
I suggest you try some stress-testing of concurrent edits through the
manager interface. I don't think that the manager interface attempts to
provide any sort of "transaction". That is: you read the configuration,
modify it, and write it. What happens if someone else modified it in the
mean time?

In a multi-tennant scenario, giving users direct access to the
configuration files normally means giving them shell access (as the
Asterisk user) to the system, and hence the ability to change the
configuration. This is obviously the issue with the dialplan (System and
such). But there are plenty of other places. You meantioned
musiconhold.conf: try mode=custom and set 'application' to whatever
command you want. Put the phone on hold to run that command.

Which is to say: you need some logic to decide what can go in the
configuration Asterisk will use.
