When you have multi-streamed jobs, yes, there are real risks. If every job completes successfully, you could be fine, but if one stream fails, you could fail to restart Oracle. Or you'll restart Oracle and NetBackup will restart the stream while Oracle is up. Because you haven't tripped over the risks does not they aren't there.
The concept of parent jobs didn't get added until 6.0.
It's fine for you to say that business can accept the risk, but it's your job to get them to understand the risks - their backups will occasionally leave the database down, or their backups are not available for recovery because a stream ran with the database up.
Rarely have I see a business unit "accept the consequences"...
