All of the counter examples are teams with lots of engineering support. Making things spin is not as easy as it might seem, and I think most of the "never do this" in this thread really mean
"Don't do this unless you have the engineering support to do it right." For example, scissor-lifts are pretty common in the real-world, but the vast majority of FRC scissor-lifts don't really work that well. I can't think of a single design I've never seem implemented well by someone, but for some of the more complicated ones I've seen a heck of a lot more poor implementations than good ones.
