Is soft-resetting reliable and safe to do?

Question

I'm just afraid doing it a bunch of times will crash the game or something.

Answer 1

No, soft resetting is a function intentionally put into the game and so is risk free.

Is it good for battery life also?

Nope, doesn't affect anything other than restarting the game. Battery life is not affected.
