I thought we had established that, in all sane use cases, an instance variable once predicate is fine. The cases where an instance variable once predicate would be unsafe are exactly the cases where it would be unsafe to access any instance variable, including the isa pointer. So, if you're using the instance in any way, you've already assumed conditions that make the once predicate fine. (And, hopefully, you've more than assumed it, you've ensured it by proper inter-thread communication of the object pointer.)
