You make it sound like these cases are rare, not sure what kind of work you do but there are markets of all sizes in many different use cases out there.

I feel like what you wanted to say was "I haven't found a need for them" as opposed to "Stay away from it"

Maybe you're trying to say something else we don't know because we don't have your backstory either, did folks at your work tried pushing it for scenarios in which they became a problem? Share that instead as it brings a lot more value to the readers, otherwise it sounds like you are trying to go for a weird flex.
