Given that this tweak is a sensitive process that is easy to mess up, and since we want to eliminate the procedural errors that lead to MALFs, wouldn't it be smart to automate this process, whether through N9QT or otherwise?
This way, accidental changes and other screw ups could be avoided. So, is it possible to automate? Why or why not?

i Think all possible.. If we want.. 
I don't remember all process of this tweak, but i remember the problem that user need deactivate this tweak if he want connect her phone via USB cable as mass storage... This we can solve via icon - one press activate, another one deactivate.. But still user need to remember this...

extra swap file - swap file solution on mass storage does have issue, but enabling extra swap partition (a dangerous method for some) doesn't need to be disabled AFAIK.
(i don't use usb cable for my phone though)

If this tweak is properly accomplished, are there any other problems or threats to consider?
If it's safe, then wooohoooo! I'm sure that I and many others would be very happy to see this tweak automated in a separate tweak or a future version of N9QT . . .

When the mtd4 NAND-FLASH partition is used for swap, it will get a lot of writes and the quality of that type of FLASH is not very good. It is most certainly not meant to be used like that.
What happens, sooner or later is that you will burn your flash partition to unuseful condition, it will literally be worn out.
Now, is this bad or not? It depends, because your device will operate just like before, normally mtd5 is not used for anyting, it's just spare storage on your device.
I myself keep an additional OS there, but you can use it for anything you like, even as swap space...

1st method = you have file on mass storage that is always in use, so, no unmounting until you disable swap
2nd method = using one "disk" that has not being used...
both methods will some day damage your phone, sooner or later
