I'd be absolutely fine with that in a sub-account or resource group as long as I had to enable it.
A while back I wanted to try out an Azure Resource Manager template as part of learning something. Since I was _learning_ it, I wasn't 100% positive what it was going to do, but I knew that it should cost about $1 to deploy it.
With a hard limit on spending I would have set it to $10, run the thing and been ok with the account being wiped if I hit $10. Even $100 I could tolerate. Unlimited $$ was too risky for me, so I chickened out.
The worst part is I can't even delete my CC because it's tied to an expired trial that I can't update billing for.

So don't enable the hard limit.
