I don't think as long as you don't get stupid that is fine. You run more of a risk of breaking the hub than pulling the threads.
Here's the issue I see with the whole puller thing....
The hub isn't stuck in the center, it's stuck on the dowel which is off center to one side. When you use a puller, the force is in the center, but it will be pulling to one side because that's where it's stuck. It will "cock" while pulling and you could break the hub. I've never had one so stuck that I couldn't get it off with a little bit of working. I think Y-Sam's approach combined with some heat like Sam suggested is the best approach. Really, don't make this harder than it really is. I was thinking I broke one one time. But IIRC, it was really corroded and brittle from age and deterioration.
