What is speaking against

$ evolution --help | grep shutdown
  --force-shutdown              Forcibly shut down Evolution

?

Sending SIGTERM 15 in principle shouldn't harm, but it might not
terminate all Evolution related processes.

Sending SIGKILL  9 probably could harm and it also might not kill all
Evolution related processes.
