Pros and Cons in Partitioning External Hard Drive for Mac and PC use?

Henlo! Apologies for the stupid question. I recently searched that you can use/share external hd with PC and Mac using Partition. But I also heard that files can be easily corrupted when using both Mac and Windows Partitioned drives on your ext hd. Is that true? Is it wise to partition the hd??
