To directly answer your question, not if they are good quality, used properly and within spec. I have not had bad experiences with UPSes when they are used ...

There is always just using an actual UPS for this purpose. Get one with a USB port and you could plug the Rasberry Pi into it and then install the appropriate software. When the UPS gets to a certain level, the Raspberry Pi would shut itself down.

I tried using an adafruit powerboost 1000 with their recommended 2amp power supply and lithium battery.
(about $30 total)
I wanted something to be able to carry the RPi around the house when including wall switches, etc.
Looked good to start with, it kept the raspberry pi running while off wall power, but WiFi and Z-Wave communications totally broke down. Not sure if the power was dirty, or just not powerful enough.
(Running original RPi B)
Almost a year ago I ordered one of the UPS PIco HV4.0 modules. I'm a long time customer and historically happy with their products.
