Michael Leinartas posted a new comment:
Short answer would be 'yes' - The storage system was built to be 'just a
directory tree' to keep management simple. For instance, removing a
metric is as simple as deleting a file.

As far as the safety of copying files, it is i think possible for a copy
to pick up an incomplete write, but since the files are fixed size and
written in-place, the worse i could imagine is that a single point might
be lost (most likely the most recent unless data was being backfilled).
I'd say it's low-risk
