Not a great idea. Logging out first and then hitting shutdown is annoying, but harmless.
But how do I suspend a laptop when it has an attached display? Closing the lid won't do, and I don't think I can log out first, can't I?

How about hitting the suspend key on your keyboard? E.g. on Thinkpads it's Fn-F4, which is indicated by the little blue half-moon icon on F4.
Are there actually any laptops that don't have a suspend key?

Macs have no suspend key, and if you use an external keyboard it's quite inconvenient to look for Fn+F4 on the laptop keyboard.
In all fairness GNOME 3.6 accepted my patch that lets me just close the lid, but you need gnome-tweak-tool to access it.

What? Are you serious? Gnome won't suspend a laptop when you close the lid without your patch? Seriously, please tell me I misunderstood! Who deemed that functionality superfluous - it only works on every other OS out there...

You've misunderstood. Default behaviour is to suspend on lid close. However, that's disabled if you have an additional display connected.

There's a setting for overriding the default behaviour on lid-close with external monitors attached:
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-suspend-with-external-monitor true
Or, if you prefer, gnome-tweak-tool has a switch for this.

I know, I contributed that patch. But I don't think gnome-tweak-tool is the right place for something that all Mac OS X users expect.

Heh, that's the first thing I sought to disable on the Mac I got and there's nowhere to do so (had to install a kernel patch thing). They have no switch for it. Having it in g-t-t is orders of magnitude better than installing something which twiddles the kernel.

Oh, I totally agree that g-t-t is better than kernel patching. :)
