The reason it's best to avoid restarting cups is: if cups is restarted
while a long-running print job is in progress, that job will get
re-printed from the beginning.

In general, if you are hand-editing CUPS configuration files, you do
need to restart it but any long-running print jobs may get re-printed.

As an exception, PPD files can be hand-edited without needing to restart
CUPS.

If CUPS configuration has been changed using lpadmin, the CUPS web
interface, or system-config-printer, there is no need to restart CUPS.
