CPEs with WiFi usually comes with the advice to change password etc. Is it ok to build an infrastructure relying on UPnP, write a disclaimer, and let the end user handle eventual problems? (I assume it is...)

Hasn't essentially every ISP on the planet been doing that for years, 
only without the disclaimer?

It's not like we're talking about creating UPnP from whole cloth.  We're
discussing a replacement of like-for-like, updating existing capabilities
to support IPv6.
