I almost never make cholent, but I am this week. In terms of food safety and the meat, it is better to start with hot water or cold? I know if it's cold, it will be hours until the meat is cooked through, which makes me nervous. If it's hot, though, it might not cook evenly and be a different food safety problem. What is the safest way?

I saute onions first, add the meat and let it brown for a couple of minutes. Then I add cold water and the beans. I never had an issue with food poisoning;)

Cold water. It doesn't take so long for it to start to boil.

Probably too late now, but are you making it in a crockpot or on the stove?
When I put boiling water in the crockpot it helps the crock to heat through, and makes the whole process slightly faster. The water cools down quite a lot before the crockpot is warm enough to sustain it at simmering point. On the other hand, it will take even longer with cold water.
On the stove they will both heat up quickly. If you start with boiling water it will heat up faster, but not a significant difference.

Both possible...
In general, I start tschulent with cold water after roasting the onions & meat, but when I add water later, I prefer to add hot water, so that it can just go on cooking at the same temperature...
I make tchulent in a regular pot. When I add cold water, I bring it to boil immediately (takes bout 5 min).
Therefore, there is no risk of germs and bacteria.
All bacteria are killed as soon as boiling point is reached...
The risk would be more if you keep the tchulent on the stove under 60°C... it should be over 60°C to be secure...
