The Stand arrow has a chance of killing you if you're deemed "unworthy", but the completed corpse will definitely kill you the same way it almost killed Lucy. So I guess the best method is to wield just one corpse part. Can the corpse be considered safer than the arrow? I mean your last point is true, you can sever a part of the corpse and try to get a stand only with that one to be safe. Lucy didn't develop a stand for herself and wasn't killed or infected as it happens with the arrow. Perhaps the arrow is more high-risk high-reward in a sense: you may even get Requiems if you're worthy... but you're not, and you're dead. I understood it as that you need to survive in the Devils Palm for some time to get a corpse part and thus a stand. And as the people who were with Valentine have shown us that isn't very easy. Furthermore, stealing a part from a stand user as a non stand user is practically impossible.
