The hotter the pipe gets the less pressure it could take so If you were really unlucky and your pressure reducing valve failed and your thermostat failed I think you could very easily blow the pipe like you see has happened on some heating systems.
 
its not continuously operated with a timer and a stat you would never run a secondary return 24/7 it'll run at a lower temperature than central heating and probably for the same length of time in the winter

Why not?
 
The whole point of having a HWSR is so hot water is instant with no deadleg and waiting, also negates legionella.
 
Really depends on the customers requirements. If they have a 24/7 requirement and the pipes are lagged properly then I can't see the problem.

We are talking about a domestic setting
Not commercial or industrial
There won't be a 24/7 requirement so it would be inefficient to have running all the time
