Do you say it by particular experience, or just becaus it smells "rare"?

No, I won't have performance problems, just one additional hop in the
message sequence[*].

One solution I had was having proxies instead of "mutational" stubs, the
proxy solution seemed to be more simple and stable, but the "mutational"
solution is seems more transparent, being those stub disposable, or "use it
once, become the real, and let the GC throw it away". The stability and
performance were the issues on which I had doubts.

[*] Unless message forwarding is handled by the VM or optimized somehow.

Thank you (gracias)
