A completely unknown factor, and therefore irrelevant as an argument.

Unknown, and therefore, irrelevant. The high risk factor (if one exists at all) is easily handwaved as a scientist discovering a safe way to do it in the fic.

Really, if an idea can't work because canon completely contradicts it is one thing, but saying the same just because it either hasn't been done before or because there are a lot of unknown factors is just pinching out a creative flame. Nanohaverse didn't widely use cartridges until A's (hell, they didn't even exist in the franchise until A's rolled them in) and neither did cyborgs, zombies, unison devices, dragons, clones and what-have-you until their respective series introduced them. As long as it sounds reasonable, there is no reason why a fic can't introduce a new aspect to the Nanohaverse.
