A little strace output reveals your answer:
# strace -e trace=file -o strace.out env-update
# grep /etc strace.out | grep O_WR
open("//etc/profile.env", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC|O_LARGEFILE, 0666) = 3
open("//etc/csh.env", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC|O_LARGEFILE, 0666) = 3
As you can see, only those two environment files are opened for writing, which
shouldn't be manually editied anyways. Long story short, you should be just fine.
