I do have a couple of rules I follow to avoid problems.
1. I usually have a blank line between the meta data (scheduled,
properties) and any subsequent text, whether part of that entry or
the following headline. I accomplish this by ensuring that my
capture templates all insert such a blank line, typically followed by
the date of insertion.
2. I also always use the =C-c C-d=, =C-c C-s= and =C-c C-x p= sequences
to manage the meta data so org takes care of keeping things sane.
However:

This would be quite nice, even something as simple as having RET, within
a time stamp, doing the equivalent of org-time-stamp or
org-time-stamp-inactive depending on the current state of the time
stamp.

This is where column mode comes in quite handy? I tend to use column
mode to edit properties and so I never come near the ID property as it
usually isn't displayed.

org-narrow-to-subtree does some of this...
