PayPal is no worse than any other merchant account provider in regards to their policies for risk reviews and what happens when an account is frozen. The policies are essentially word for word the same at PayPal and at the major banks underwriting most merchant accounts. Sticking a subscription-management-as-a-service startup on top of your payment processor does not alleviate any of these issues.

I know exactly how easy/hard building in-house billing is, thank you very much. I've built many, for my own business which supports over 80,000 users with a myriad of complex one-time/subscription/overage/special-rate/etc. payment plans, and for others. You can look at my profile if you wish some evidence.
