The only danger of -lq (no quorum) is that if nobody notices you have a failed disk you may end by having no disks at all when the last one gives up.. (Dont laugh it happened to me...and not once...).

Now testing is more delicate you method as you have noticed may give issues...
I usually test if the disk is bootable by choosing at ISL which disk I boot from, once booted from both disks and all is fine, I trust the box and it worked fine so far, playing at remove/slipping back a disk can end with a system crash as you have not said on what model you are (true when disks share the same scsi interface [because of SCSI resets...])
