on IFI's website... It warns that devices connected to the PWM outputs may have trouble with the fast changing PWM outputs and to check those device specifications, but there's nothing about the RC that makes this a bad idea.

The RC is only one component of the system. The usual device connected to a PWM output is a Victor speed controller, and multiple teams have discovered that Victors don't handle fast updates very well.

After all, aren't Putdata and Generate_Pwms called in the default fast routines anyway?

No, the only thing called in the default fast routine is Process_Data_From_Local_IO(), and that's empty. The Generate_Pwms() and Putdata() functions are called in the default
slow routines, once per communication packet.
