Yes, though it may be better to discuss further on the related shib-users

I'd be curious to know why you don't like it. I encourage you to discuss
further on shib-users.

The ability to mutate attributes is a notable capability of the IdP
attribute engine.

I was in the same situation, so I'll share my decision FWIW. I'm a single
FTE running two production systems, Shib IdP and Jasig CAS server, that
have the same purpose but with complementary capabilities. It made all the
sense in the world to consolidate onto a single platform that could provide
everything we needed. Fortunately I had the benefit of developing the CAS
protocol support in the IdP expressly to meet our requirements. Thus we had
assurance our needs would be met by a single platform and it became a
straightforward economic decision: consolidate and save. Of course our
needs and yours are likely different; you'll have to evaluate for yourself
whether a single platform meets your requirements.
