No. It is not safe to make any changes to the database while GnuCash is connected to it because GnuCash reads the database only at the start of the session and only writes after that. If you remove objects from the database you should be careful to clean up all of the references to them as well--and of course that will be recursive. Note that GnuCash doesn't set any relations in the database so you won't be able to use the usual referential integrity tools.
