I imagine th= at > bit of advice is there so the system's crontab isn't broken. The advice about 'not editing /etc/crontab' is mostly so that people will prefer to use individual per-user crontabs which are much cleaner to manage, especially if you're using a configuration management system like puppet or ansible. It does also provide a neat separation between the 'system' cron jobs and user cron jobs as you say. Despite the advice, if what you need to achieve requires editing /etc/crontab, then go ahead and edit /etc/crontab.
