Is there any reason to hook up a seperate boiler water make-up on a Tarm Solo 40. It will be piped in parallel with the existing oil boiler? The oil boiler of course has its own water feed assembly with the back flow preventer and pressure regulator.

Not that I know of. You do want each boiler to have its own pressure relief valve, with no intervening shutoff valve.
Probably taking a risk, but I have no boiler make-up on my Tarm, and that's because the well that serves the shop that I heat is not winter protected, have to shut it down. I have done some emergency tests on the boiler and have had no unusual temp or pressure rise: full burn power failure, full burn pump failure. Max boiler temp/pressure in these cases: 200-210 and 18-20.
Are there other risks I'm not foreseeing?

The Tarm will be twined into the oil boiler. The Oil boiler does have it's own water make-up assembly. Unless I isolate the oil boiler, both boilers will always share the same pressure.
