Then again, it's not going to warp or burn if full of water.
I've seen 1/4" steel boilers split from heavy use, mainly down to crap in the system preventing a good flow but it is possible.

Alot of the newer solid fuel boilers have thermostats controling the airflow to the fire therefore controling the fire bed preventing it getting too hot and burning too much fuel. Thats the only problem I can see with yours is its control. If you don't put enough rads on taking heat away from the boiler the system could just end up like one big kettle no good to anyone and a potential danger.
