The detailed answer will of course depend a lot on the details of your 
use case.

But I believe the simple answer is Yes, there is a risk. See the FAQ, 
"Can I use GnuCash with multiple users? Maybe via the SQL backend?" at 
<https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_Can_I_use_GnuCash_with_multiple_users.3F_Maybe_via_the_SQL_backend.3F>.

If you have follow-up questions after that, the list is open to hear them.
