If you allow a instance have access to exec from which you allow service
be restarted (either full root access or sudo), then there is always a
risk that someone can manage to execute something you thought was
possible, this could lead to the whole machine is compromised.

Daemon ain't a waste of resources if you do it the right way, let it
idle till it gets a message, it will make a small memory imprint, it
will not waist many cpu cycles while not doing anything and you increase
the security of your system.

I have seen a database based solution running on quite many servers,
including web servers, database servers, dns and mail server been handle
this way, the resources used by the provisioning software was quite
small, would go as far as say it's not measurable.
