Is using Child Actor Component deprecated?

Blueprint

I’m trying to create a house in Blueprint, and I’m looking for a way to implement doors that can be opened and closed, and lights that can be turned on.

As far as I searched, the only way to use functional templates in a Blueprint is as a Child Actor component.

However, child actor components have a very bad reputation.

Some studios even ban it entirely.

The alternative, Attach Actor, is not suitable for my use case because Spawn Actor cannot be used in Construction Script.

How risky is it to use a Child Actor Component?
