I've had my BP in 2 different display cages and he has been just fine. But it depends on the animal it self. Some are fine and some prefer racks. If you're talking to a breeder should give you better idea on if that animal is okay outside a rack system. Most BPs with the exception of those bought for large collections or breeding are housed in glass tanks or PVC cages as far as I've seen. PVC cages with only one door and one source of light does a lot way, also hides, cover etc is important. Beyond that it comes down to the temperament of the animal. When I was looking for mine I was pulling rack after rack at the store, all of them hid and balled up except for Mushu, he slowly stared right at me and came towards me slowly. We had to scare his head back in so we could close the rack, he never balled on me or struck ever, each time I went to the store and held him for half hour or an hour. He was instantly just roaming around the limits of my body. I held another BP who was a ball for 15 minutes straight until a employee unballed him and put him around my wrist. It's like any animal there are variations, if you like the looks, housing, okay with the feeding potential then just find an animal with the right temperament.
Mushu crawled up my body the day I bought him, he just stared up and tried to climb straight up my torso. I had to lift my arms to help him out so he just chill on my shoulders for awhile, you can see him on my shoulder.
