So, my advice is avoid this unless you need to for a reason, and my evidence
that it does not necessarily cause harm per se is that x$ tables are
referenced and exposed via some v$ views already.

Viewing V$ views is unlikely to cause the symptoms of an instance hang.
X$ views are a different beast. Some, like X$KSMSP, have the ability to
cause severe issues (info courtesy of Tanel's blog).

Tread very carefully.
