Be Careful

I'd be careful not to have too copies of safari open at once (always quit when you are done) or you might end up with overwriting (and loosing) bookmarks. In the worst case scenario bother versions of Safari could try to write to the file at the same time and the file might get corrupted.

This is one of the problems that can be avoided - or at least minimized - by using Dropbox (see my comment above.) Since you are still just saving to your local HD with Dropbox, both computers will never be accessing the same file at once. You may still loose changes from one of the browsers in favor of the data from the other one, but as least you should avoid any errors and filesystem (volume) corruption. I can't be positive, but I think it's very unlikely that a file would get corrupted either this way, but you can always go to the Dropbox website and restore from a backup if a file does happen to get corrupted.
