Yes. I checked and made sure that this is so.
If you try to do:
.go cr id 17948 and click to Tyrande Whisperwind. Server will not shut down

anyway, you can do something with this, so that people would mean that the server can shut down.

This NPC is not meant to be summoned outside of Hyjal Summit, as it is using a specific CreatureScript for this encounter:

Any creature with an instance script can cause a server crash in real life

[Si1ker]

I can confirm it will crash your server but as pklloveyou said: "any creature with an instance script can cause a server crash..."

This NPC is working as expected into Hyjal. This should be closed as it is not an issue, (dungeon) scripted NPCs are not meant to be outside their instances/dungeons for any reason from a blizzlike perspective.

This could be one of the reasons why we have different versions of a Boss/NPC.
-> .lookup creature [creature name]

Agree with @Si1ker
