Not more or less safe than "curl | sudo bash", I'd say. ;-)

On the other hand, couldn't you specify a path local to your user
account (e. g., ~/node_modules) for a local installation of the
gitbook-cli package?

Of course it's a little bit problematic when several package
managers (others than the system's pkg) want to write stuff to
system-level directories. And npm isn't the only example I could
think of...
