This is what I do. I have two emacs instances running all times, one for
email and one for everything else.  The second one includes all org
related stuff.  As I do capture things in org from email (gnus), I do
have to make sure that I save my org files frequently.  There's no issue
in terms of getting stuff lost as org does lock any modified but not
saved files and the other emacs will prompt if you try to save something
to an org file that has not been saved in other emacs.
