You disable DBAL support for extensions, which is probably only a "defect" for public extensions on
TER. Also it encourages users of your ZF extensions to bypass the DB API of TYPO3. This could have
unwanted side effects when ZF doesn't have the same hooks as the regulat API has.

So using ZF's DB access is not dangerous itself, but it least in the wrong direction.
