Is it safe to manually create .appxsym and .appxupload to analyze crashes in Windows Store apps?

We have an application with a manual packaging process (MakeAppx.exe). We would like to publish this application in the Store, including publicly accessible symbol files, so that I can download the dump file for the .cab process for failure analysis ( as described here ).

I understand that .appxupload is a zip file associated with the .appx package and the .appxsym file, which in turn is a .zip file containing .pdb files ( also according to MSDN ).

Is it safe to manually create / edit these .appxsym and .appxupload for publishing?

Yes. It is perfectly. As you noted, the appxupload format is documented as a zip file containing the .appx and .appxsym files, and the .appxsym file is a compressed file with public application characters. An application and its creation are described in Application Packages and Deployment.

Generating this yourself or creating it through VS will give almost the same results, avoiding differences in the contents of appxupload (most likely, these are different application options or processing).
