The first time someone has a runway incursion, or nicks a wingtip on something, if you think DAL will give the WINK, WINK because you were inputing FMS data on the roll, you're kidding yourself.
I'm in 100% agreement. If the policy is to stop and set the parking brake while we put in the numbers, then we do it that way. I'm not risking my career for company convenience either.

I think the FO could safely enter the numbers while the Capt is taxiing, but not without a policy change.
