That's correct; I wasn't talking about the rubber lines, which need to be replaced either way. There's no way the steel lines are going to break with a mere 40psi!
As for safety issues, a decent shunt will see that 1 litre of fuel sprayed all over the place, and a litre of fuel can do a hell of a lot of damage once it's alight! A split high-pressure line is nowhere near as dangerous; the fuel pump is (or should be) wired up so that it cuts out in the event of an accident, so if there's a leak it will only be for a second or so.
In the case of my 18R-GEU (and many other Toyota engines), the fuel pump is triggered by a switch in the airflow meter. As soon as the engine stalls, the flap in the airflow meter closes and the fuel pump is switched off.
