I just think you shouldn't be telling "unsophisticated" users to run all cleaning and maintenance in Onyx. Installing Applejack and getting into single user, then following some prompts, is a no-brainer, which almost anyone can easily run without any danger. Since Applejack runs from a script, it's almost impossible to do anything wrong, even if it does run in root. Perhaps your instructions might be more selective?
