how many physical (dis)connects are brick(let) connectors designed for?

Unfortunately i can't find any information on that in the manufacturer datasheet: www.jst-belgium.be/downloads/series/eSH_3.pdf‎

 

But we have Master Bricks here that are used for flashing that have Bricklets connected/disconnected to them several thousand times and they still work OK.

 

also, is it safe to (dis)connect bricklets to master bricks on the go?

No! In general Bricklet hotplug is not possible. It is only recommended in situations where a broken firmware is on a Bricklet and it needs to be reflashed with a working firmware.
