Shutting down Linux first is always considered "best practice" because disk writing may be happening in the background but I haven't corrupted a uSD card in years despite just killing the power when I want to change something. It seemed a more prevalent problem in the early days with no-brand class 4 and class 6 cards. I'm using SanDisk Ultra and Ultra+ class 10 cards now and they've been very reliable. I hear Samsung Pro and Evo cards are very good too.
That's not to say that corruption can't happen. I suspect if MPD is updating the database when the power is killed, for example, badness is more likely to happen.
