What exactly are those effects that could pose issues? Nested macro blocks inside of another macro? Ambiguous syntax due to macro usage?
IMO Tree-Sitter will be at least as correct as current RegExp syntaxes, while being faster, with the upside of potentially turning out much better. The worst case scenario of a faster sidegrade is still an improvement, so this is worth of consideration in my opinion.
